Women’s Health Lunch – Coastal Goddess

Annual Charity Lunch - Raising Funds for WomenCan

A Luncheon With Purpose

The Coastal Goddess Luncheon
is more than an event. It is a space for women to come together to learn, connect and support one another — while raising vital funds for women affected by gynaecological cancers.

Hosted by Coastal Goddess, this annual luncheon brings together expert voices, lived experience and community conversation to shine a light on
women’s health at midlife – particularly perimenopause, menopause and the long-term impacts of women’s cancers.

All funds raised through the event – including ticket sales, sponsorships, auctions and donations — are donated directly to WomenCan, supporting vital research, education and advocacy for women affected by gynaecological cancers.

Why This Cause Is Personal

This luncheon is deeply personal to Coastal Goddess founder Dr. Kelly Needham.
Dr Kelly is an cervical cancer survivor. Her experience navigating diagnosis, treatment and recovery – while continuing to support other women – is the heart of this event.

Since 2021, Coastal Goddess has raised more than $85,000 for WomenCan, including $19,000 in 2025 alone. In 2026, the goal is to give even more back.
