A charity to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) will be held again December 6 at the Bangalow A&I Hall from 12 till 5pm.
Organisers say Car 612 Annual Fundraiser, Remembering Oliver Martin, is their third annual fundraiser.
‘It’s an event brought about by the loss of our son Oliver Martin, who was taken from us too soon at the age of 19’.
‘The Outback Cartrek Rally has been running for 35 years, and each year manages to raise over $1 million for a service that is vital for remote areas of rural Australia.
According to www.flyingdoctor.org.au, ‘With a waiting room of 7.69 million square kilometres, the RFDS provides 24-hour aeromedical emergency services that can reach anywhere, no matter how remote, within hours’.
Big line-up
The sportsperson luncheon will feature MC Ellen Briggs, comedian Jacques Barrett, and celebrity guest speakers Wallaby rugby legend, Nick Cummins, ultra runner and keynote speaker, Jacqui Bell, as well as professional AFL player and Brownlow medalist, Jason Akermanis.
Organisers say the event will include a ‘sit down three-course meal and complimentary drink on arrival’.
A live and silent auction will also be held, ‘with net proceeds going to the RFDS’.
