The Mullumbimby community has been quick to rally around the McMillan family, who are homeless after their near-new house burnt down last Thursday.
Mullum’s Court House Hotel will host a fundraiser tonight for Wazza, Mel and their family, which also coincides with the State of Origin decider.
The event will have a $20 door charge, which, along with the entire profit from the bar, will be given to the McMillans to help them get back on their feet.
Doors open at 6.30pm and the evening will include prizes for best dressed and raffles for products and services donated by local businesses, with a generous donation of products from Craig Watson Pharmacy to kick it off.
For more information or to donate raffle goodies, phone or email the Court House on 6684 1550 or [email protected].
