There was an excellent turnout at Tocumwal Brewing Co to help this great cause.
The event exceeded expectations with the amount of money raised, particularly with the sale of tickets for their Red Balloon raffle.
Congratulations to Edward Grayson who was announced as the raffle winner and received a $1000 voucher to spend on the Red Balloon website.
More than $5500 was raised by this raffle, including ticket sales in the months before the event, plus on the day.
Attendees enjoyed food and drinks available for purchase, while the venue was donated by the Tocumwal Brewing Co.
Co-owner Nathan Haley provided live entertainment throughout the afternoon.
Congratulations to Can Assist on a great event.
