Cooly Rocks On Operations Manager Bob Newman said it was the least his organisation could do to help the South East Queensland flood victims.

"Everyone knows someone who has been affected by the devastating floods of last week and when we started to toss around the idea of a fundraiser, the bands and performers had no hesitation in putting their hands up," said Newman.

"All the bands, performers, car owners and enthusiasts are donating their time and have rearranged their schedules to be there so I'm sure it will be a great evening. We are delighted with the response we've had.

"It's the least Cooly Rocks On can do to help those people affected by the floods - some people have lost everything - it's a very sad situation indeed.

"But we see this event as a great way for the community around Coolangatta-Tweed Heads to come together for the Flood Relief so we encourage everyone to dig deep and support the Dance Party on Sunday week.

"The Civic Centre has donated the hall for free, the caterers are providing free finger food and I'm sure it's going to be wonderful way to get together to help those who are really struggling."

FREE finger food will be available with full bar facilities at the Civic Centre.
