Charity Auction

Each year, IPWEAQ’s President chooses a charity to support during their term. Seren McKenzie has chosen MS Queensland and we are delighted to offer you this opportunity to purchase the art of Col Chandler at our charity auction.

Col is not just a major talent with a passion for art, sculpture and surfing (and making friends with dolphins), he has been pursuing his passions while battling MS for the past 10 years. MS has had a significant impact on Col’s mobility including his ability to stand and balance on a surfboard but he has not allowed MS to affect his life.

Col has been busy painting this amazing piece of art which he will complete onsite on Day 2 of the conference so please stop by and chat with Col while he paints (see venue map on page 5 for Col’s location). You will then have an opportunity to bid for the painting at an auction during the gala awards ceremony and dinner with all proceeds going to MS Queensland. This painting-in-progress is Col’s signature piece which was also the backdrop for the 2016 Beach Boys World Tour and is infused with the feel and rhythm of the ocean.

Please bid generously for Col’s art, in support of MSQ and for the President’s Charity and enjoy the tranquillity of the ocean
