Hundreds of children, many with additional needs, attended the annual Razzamatazz Show at the Niagara Park Stadium on Wednesday, April 18.
It was the 24th consecutive annual show organised by the Rotary Club of Gosford to raise funds for community projects.
Event organiser David Boardman said some of the money raised would go to Coast Shelter Men’s Refuge.
The balance of the funds will be used for the provision of defibrillators to Central Coast Community Women’s Health Centre and the Girl Guides Hall at Point Clare.
“Hundreds of children enjoyed amazing magic, juggling, clowns and balancing acts,” Boardman said.
“There was plenty of loud and enthusiastic cheering during all of the three shows.
“Each show was provided at no cost to the children, with a small bag of lollies distributed by club members to the audience following each show.”
Boardman said many local businesses had contributed generously.
“This year’s success has meant that funds raised have exceeded our expectations and an additional two defibrillators can be purchased,” he said.
