Greenbrook Community House staff, Whittlesea council representatives and AFL umpire AFL umpire Razor Ray Chamberlain braved an icy cold dunk last week, all in the name of a good cause.
The Epping community house held a Big Freeze event on Tuesday, June 7 to help raise awareness for house member who was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease (MND).
The Big Freeze event featured a number of volunteers that entered a dunk tank, with tickets sold for a chance to try your luck hitting the target with a tennis ball to dunk them in icy water.
The team raised $2700.
The Lalor Men’s Shed ran a sausage sizzle to assist with fundraising and ‘Sing it with Sharon’, Sharon Cristallini, volunteered her time to MC the day.
Whittlesea council chief executive Craig Lloyd said council was proud to support the MND Big Freeze fundraiser to help raise money for an important cause.
“A member of the Greenbrook community was recently diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease so it was wonderful to see our community coming together to support fundraising efforts for this insidious disease which impacts so many lives,” he said.
