Australian Seabird & Turtle Rescue (ASTR) is hosting a charity night at the Ballina Players Theatre with a presentation of Beautiful – The Carol King Musical on Wednesday, November 29.
ASTR receives no government funding and relies on events like this to keep the organisation going. ASTR rescues and rehabilitates seabirds, marine turtles and sea snakes at the turtle hospital in Ballina. The organisation was founded 30 years ago by Lance Ferris and is a service which continues today.
His daughter Rochelle will be at this performance.
This special night will include a raffle and a silent auction with some amazing items, including paintings, photos, jewellery, a massage, gift vouchers and more. Supper will be available with cakes made by the wonderful volunteers.
ASTR have almost finished their hospital, aviary and education facility upgrade – next on the list is a flight aviary where they can flight test rescued and rehabilitated birds to make sure they are ready for release.
This special event is on Wednesday, November 29 at 8pm. Tickets are $40 and can be purchased online from www.seabirdrescue.org.au, or events.humanitix.com/carol-king-musical-charity-night.
