Thank you to the wonderful team at Quakers Hill Veterinary Hospital. This is the fourth year they have held a fundraiser for MND NSW. This year's event included a raffle and the sale of MND NSW merchandise, raising just over $3,000. Thank you to everyone who supported this wonderful fundraiser and to Quakers Hill Vets for their ongoing support.
The 'Help Can MND' trivia and auction night fundraiser was recently held in Bathurst in support of MND. A donation from the event of $10,000 was made to MND NSW to be used for much needed equipment for our members with MND. A big thank you to everyone who organised and supported this event. Pictured from left are Anthony Campbell and Janine Graham.
We were thrilled to be the recipients of the 'Round Up to Make a Difference' program during the month of June from Officeworks in Kotara. Amanda Dean, the Store Business Manager, coordinated the event and was very happy to let us know that the Officeworks Kotora team had raised $2,891.55 for MND NSW. A big thank you to Amanda and team, and to everyone who so generously donated. Pictured is Eileen O'Loghlen from MND NSW (at left) receiving the donation cheque from the Officeworks Kotara team.
A big thank you to the Warringah Golf Club who held a Ladies Charity Day in May raising $5,880. The funds raised will go towards providing support for people living with MND. The event was a huge success and all participants thoroughly enjoyed the day. The Warringah Golf Club are a small club and were overwhelmed by the generosity of their members and friends. Thank you to the organisers and to those who participated and supported the day. Pictured are three ladies from the winning team along with volunteer Ian Alexander who has MND. Ladies Captain, Barbara Myers said of Ian "He was an inspiration collecting money at the 12th hole where we had a nearest the pin competition. It was our pleasure to be able to raise funds for MND."
What a great morning we had at the Walk to d’feet MND in Penrith raising $26,475 for MND. It was a great atmosphere, the weather was perfect and a great crowd of over 300 people walked to show their support for people living with MND. Thank you to our wonderful volunteers who assisted, the Penrith Rotary for their yummy food, Cafe2U Penrith South for the wonderful coffee, and the boys in the band for their great music. Thank you also to all our participants who make the Walks so special.
