The Gosford Classic Car Museum has joined the World’s Largest Open House event to raise funds for Super Charity Kids in Need on April 30.
The car museum, which is home to the largest collection of cars in the Southern Hemisphere, is one of five new venues to join the 2017 World’s Largest Open House event.
The event is in aid of raising funds for Super Charity New South Wales Kids In Need which supports six child-focussed charities including: Bear Cottage Children’s Hospice; the Burns Unit at the Children’s Hospital at Westmead; Central Coast Kids in Need; Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award – Australia; Muscular Dystrophy NSW; and SHINE for Kids.
The Super Charity is run by a volunteer board and runs to a ‘zero cost’ model meaning that every dollar raised goes directly to the supported charities.
NSW Kids in Need Chairman, Mr Peter Debnam, said he continued to be humbled by the enthusiasm of the many venue partners to be involved in the event, which over the past two years has attracted crowds of almost 100,000 and raised more than $320,000 for the charities.
“Each year we’ve been blown away by the community generosity we’ve seen. We’re also so grateful to our volunteers, our charities and our partners. It’s a monumental effort to make the ‘World’s Largest Open House’ happen, so for everybody to be so enthusiastic really demonstrates the sheer goodwill of those involved,” Mr Debnam said.
Tickets to the Classic Car Museum are available online or at the door.
