We are counting down to one of the biggest events in the history of Tamborine Mountain College — our 30 Year Anniversary Gala — and thanks to our newest Community Partner, Medland Orthodontics, this night just got even more dazzling!
You could WIN a full Invisalign Treatment valued at $10,000!
Yes, you read that right. One lucky Gala guest will walk away with a life-changing smile makeover, thanks to the generosity of Medland Orthodontics.
But here’s the catch — there are ONLY 130 tickets available for this exclusive event, and just a handful of tickets remain! That means you have a 1 in 130 chance of winning this incredible prize.
