The team behind Mingara’s annual Christmas Under the Stars fundraiser has announced that the 2019 event has raised over $16,000 for local charities Books in Homes and the Salvation Army Oasis Youth Centre.
Proceeds from the sale of tickets and candles at the Christmas event have been split between the two community groups to help them continue to provide much needed support and services to homeless and disadvantaged youth on the Central Coast.
Mingara Sports and Community Manager, Sarah Ferman, said that they are proud to support these worthwhile charities and help them continue to make a difference to the lives of local youth.
“We are thrilled that our annual Christmas Under the Stars event, which has been running for almost 20 years, has again raised such a significant amount of money for the Salvation Army Oasis Youth Centre and Books in Homes,” Ferman said.
“It’s this kind of community spirit and support that helps these charities continue to thrive.
“Greater Bank is proud to have been the major sponsor of Mingara Christmas Under the Stars for the seventh consecutive year”, said Greater Bank’s Head of Marketing and Customer Experience, Matt Hingston.
“We love supporting local events and giving back to those who need it most within the region,” Hingston said.
