Whittlesea CFA is hosting a fundraising day next month, raising important funds for its future development and service to the community.
At a fundraising event at the Whittlesea Bowls Club, bowls teams will face off in a casual competition, with each team providing a joint donation to the local brigade.
A gold team package provides $500 to the organisation and a silver team Ppckage provides $250.
While the teams are already full, brigade fifth lieutenant Danny Cobb said he encourages others to head to the bowls club to enjoy this community event.
“We would love the community to come down and join across the day … they can come down and support friends who may be involved and local businesses who may be supporting us,” Mr Cobb said.
“There’ll be raffles, there’ll be silent auctions, we’ve got a keynote speaker … captain Richard Gardiner, who will be talking about the up and coming fire season.”
Volunteers on the day will consist of 29 CFA members and six Whittlesea Bowls Club members, with the bowls rink and venue provided to the local brigade to use for the charity event free-of-charge.
The event will run from 8.30am–4pm on Friday, December 6 at the Whittlesea Bowls Club, 101 Church Street, Whittlesea.
