A Roxburgh Park beauty pageant contestant is calling for donations to a children’s charity.
Shani Moon, 20, is fundraising for children’s charity Variety, which aims to raise awareness and funds for children and families across Australia who are facing challenges through sickness, disadvantage or living with special needs, as part of her campaign in the Miss World Australia beauty pageant.
The pageant selects who will be the Australian representative at the Miss World competition.
Ms Moon has set a $5000 goal for her fundraiser.
“I believe I’ll be able to reach it if I interact with people and businesses in our community, spreading the word about this cause,” she said.
“Even now, especially, we all may feel disconnected during this time of COVID-19.
“I intend to bring us together, whether it be virtually or not.
“I am enthusiastic about creating awareness for such an honourable cause and know others will too, in making a life-changing impact in many children’s lives within our community and across our state.”
Ms Moon said she was passionate about the fundraiser.
“It’s like being able to give a gift to the people that need this support, which really appeals to me,” she said.
“This belief really keeps me motivated.”
