Stars of Nowra 2026

Crystal Brandon | Ray White Shoalhaven Central Group

Crystal Brandon is a real estate agent with Ray White Shoalhaven Central Group. She shows her love for the region by also serving as Vice President of the Shoalhaven Business Chamber, volunteering as a registered nurse and supporting the arts as Vice President of the Kangaroo Valley Folk Festival. 

For Crystal, each role comes down to connection and impact: helping people step into their next chapter, supporting vulnerable community members, and contributing to a region she loves.  

Crystal’s decision to join was inspired by a close family member receiving a life altering ovarian cancer diagnosis, a journey marked by brutal treatment and an unexpected loss of confidence that shook their whole family.  

By taking part in STARS, she hopes to show that vulnerability and strength can coexist, and that everyone carries unseen challenges. Crystal aims to inspire others to feel less alone in their battles. For her, it’s simple: if sharing her story helps even one person, then stepping onto that stage is absolutely worth it.

Let's Go to Let it GO!

Dancing in front of a crowd… No problem.
Fundraising $20,000…. Difficult but I’ve got amazing friends.
Singing in front of a crowd, singing on social media…. Well that is where it gets tricky…..
So. Everyone else is thoroughly stepping out of their comfort zone by dancing on Saturday night. It’s only fair I face some fears as well….
IF I raise $20,000 between now and Saturday night - I will sing ‘Let if Go’ - the absolute vocal banger from Frozen, and record and upload it here, for viewing into eternity 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
And remember, donate before 8pm tonight you’ll go into the draw to win the luxury stay thanks to @linnaeuscollection
This is the final pushhhh….
Let’s go to Let it Go!

Thanks to the team at Ray White Corporate and the Sydney Swans!

A huge thank you to Corporate and the for generously gifting a signed guernsey to raffle off as part of my Stars of Nowra campaign for the Cancer Council.

The guernsey generated an incredible $1,100 for the campaign, with the lucky winner being Tim Hanlon!

I’m so grateful for the support shown by both organisations and our wider community. Every donation, raffle ticket and act of generosity has helped make this campaign something really special — and most importantly, helped raise vital funds for cancer research and support services.

Congratulations Tim, and thank you again to everyone who got behind the raffle and the Stars of Nowra campaign.

My Finale!

Every dollar raised goes toward the Cancer Council NSW through Stars of Nowra, and I truly appreciate every single person who has donated, shared posts, come to events or backed me throughout this campaign.

If you’ve been sitting on the fence thinking “I should donate”… this is your sign 😂💛

Sunday Spritz

Still thinking about my Sunday Spritz 🥂

A massive thank you to Michelle Bishop, the Bishop family and the team at Bangalay Dining for hosting and backing this event. To hand over your venue and donate your time like that — especially right now — is no small thing. It’s incredibly generous and I’m so, so grateful.

Because of that (and everyone who came along for a drink on a Sunday arvo), we raised $1,600 for the Cancer Council through my Stars of Nowra campaign.

Honestly… that’s pretty amazing for 90 minutes and a couple of drinks.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, bought a ticket, had a laugh and supported it. This is exactly what community looks like.

And if you haven’t been to Bangalay — you should. It’s one of the best spots on the South Coast for a proper date night or long lunch.

More to come. Let’s keep it going 🤍

Bronze Sponsor - Julie Armistead <3

✨ A very special thank you ✨ Julie Armistead I am so grateful to have the support of Julie Armistead, Director of Financial Dynamics, who has come on board as a Bronze Sponsor for my Stars of Nowra fundraising campaign for the Cancer Council. Julie is not only my accountant (and the one who keeps me in line 😅), but also a wonderful mum friend and an incredibly generous supporter of our community. It means so much to have people in your corner who quietly show up and back you. 💛

Sunday Spritz with a Star!

I’m so excited to invite you to my next Stars of Nowra fundraiser, held at the stunning Bangalay Dining this Sunday.

This event wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of my dear friend Michelle Bishop, who has so kindly opened the doors to host this for me. 

It’s set to be a relaxed afternoon of connection, conversation and community, all while raising funds for an incredible cause.

Secure your tickets here:

I’d love to see you there!

Your ticket includes a glass of champagne on arrival and entry to the new Australian movie musical THE DEB, directed by Rebel Wilson!

Event Details:
📍 Roxy Cinema, Nowra
🗓 Wednesday 22nd April
🕕 6:00pm

Every ticket purchased helps raise vital funds for cancer research, prevention and support services through the Cancer Council.

Crystal's Cameos for Cancer!

Ladies and gentlemen of the Shoalhaven…
It has come to my attention that after many years of theatrical training, questionable character choices, and an alarming number of costumes… it is time to put these talents to work for a higher purpose!
In support of my Stars of Nowra fundraising campaign for Cancer Council, I am now accepting bookings for Crystal’s Cameos for Cancer.
For a minimum $500 donation, I will arrive at your workplace, birthday, staff meeting, footy training, branch meeting, ward handover or event in full costume and deliver a surprise theatrical appearance.
Now before you assume this is simply an unhinged fundraiser with access to a costume box, let me remind you that I am:
🎓 A graduate of the Australian Institute of Music
🎭 An attendee of the NIDA Music Theatre Summer Intensive
And most recently seen on stage with the Nowra Players as:
✨ Liza Minnelli in Smile 4 Deb
🇸🇪 The reigning champion 'Astrid from Sweden' in Eurobeat
🥔 Rania in The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race
So really… this is highly trained theatrical chaos.
You may book one of the following roles:
💪 80s Jazzercise Instructor
🎤 Marilyn Monroe
🐰 The Easter Bunny
🎭 Liza Minnelli
⛪ The Nun
I will arrive.
I will commit completely to the role.
There may be singing.
There may be jazz hands.
There may be a deeply confusing moment for your colleagues.
But it will all be in the name of raising funds for Cancer Council.
So if your workplace needs a little drama…
if a birthday requires a touch of Broadway…
or if you simply want to see your boss greeted by Marilyn Monroe on a Tuesday morning…
book the cameo!
Because as the great Liza herself might say…
Life is a cabaret, old chum.
And apparently… so is fundraising.
Please share far and wide across the Shoalhaven and put this Broadway Baby to Work!

Thank you to my Sponsors
