Merchandise | Stories and News THE BIGGER AND BETTER BALL HAS ARRIVED!Dear All The second annual Coffee4Kids Charity Ball will be held on Friday March 19 at the WatervieW Convention Centre at Bicentennial Park in Sydney. Following on from the success of last year’s event, which raised over $20,000, this year’s Ball is again aiming to raise funds for the Coffee4Kids Foundation and the Foundation’s principal beneficiary, The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. This will be a great event for up to 600 guests and as Goodwill Ambassador for Coffee4Kids I’d like to extend an invitation to everyone to come along and help support the Foundation at its signature event. The night will include entertainment by comedian Anh Do, performances by The Enormous Horns, a charity auction plus raffle prizes. Tickets are only $95 so why not book a table for 10 with your brigade, work mates or a group of your friends! This will be a great night, raising funds for two very worthwhile and deserving groups and an opportunity to have some fun, while we give something back to the community. Hope I see you there. For ticket sales, information and details, contact the C4K Team at c4K@coffee4kids.org.au or call Carolyn Cuello on (02) 8741 5220 or Peter Marshall on 0438 211 794. The Coffee for Kids Foundation Christmas Party
The Foundation approached a number of local businesses for support towards the function and were delighted with the response. Woolworths, Sara-Lee Cakes, Coca Cola and Moree Meats contributed to the success of the day by discounting or providing gift cards for purchases and all agreed that the luncheon was a happy time for all those present. We are also happy to report that over $400 was raised to go into the funds to be distributed to various charities by the Foundation in the coming year.During the official part of the day, Ron Anderson presented the toys donated by RFS staff to Julie Munley from The Children’s Hospital at Westmead. Julie thanked everyone and explained that without assistance from people such as those at the RFS, Christmas for many families would not be the happy and fun time that we all hope for. Well done to everyone that enables the Foundation to continue to provide not only CHW but various other Children's Charities with much needed funds to continue their great work. RFS Members run from Ridge to Bridge for Children's Charity
The 44 competitors set off from Cowan Fire Station and made their way to Brooklyn Fire Station via the picturesque Great North Walk and fire trail network. Finishers were greeted with a BBQ lunch supplied by the RFS's Hornsby/Kur-ring-gai Catering Brigade. Cowan Brigade Captain Grahame Horne said "a great day was had by all competitors, and more importantly we raised over $600 for the Coffee4Kids charity" Assistant Commissioner Mark Crosweller, the Coffee4Kids founder and chairman, presented the trophies to the winning team from Cowan Brigade, and runners up from Galston Brigade along with thanking Capt Grahame Horne and his team for their organisation of a successful event. "It’s through events such as these and the ongoing generosity and support of the members of the RFS Brigades involved that much needed funds are raised for Coffee4Kids and ultimately for the areas of children's wellbeing that the charity supports" said Asst Commissioner Crosweller. Cowan Brigade are planning to make this an annual event, and looking forward to a bigger and better run from Ridge to Bridge next year.
