A fundraiser will be held for the team from The Agency ahead of its participation in this year’s Coast Shelter Sleepout.
It will take place from 6pm-9pm on Friday, July 19, at Davistown Community Hall, the use of which has been donated by Davistown Progress Association (DPA) in recognition of The Agency’s long-time sponsorship.
The fundraiser will be an art auction of many works donated by local artists.
Other items donated by local 3 Villages small businesses and donors from all over the region will be auctioned and used as raffle, door and guessing competition prizes.
Taking part in the event will be Top Cat – local 3 Villages musicians Jackie, Andy and Blue – who have donated their time to perform along with The Silver Ferns, an a capella group which will entertain with some modern favourites.
All funds raised will go to the Coast Shelter, to assist people in need here on the Coast.
The Agency at Davistown team will participate for a second time in the Coast Shelter Sleepout on Friday, August 2.
“Last year was our first time, and we had no idea how many people this truly effects on the Central Coast,” team leader Paula Taylor said.
“It is not just people who are homeless who will benefit from the fundraising, but also men, women and children across the Coast affected by domestic violence.
“This issue is far bigger than you might realise.
“Last year collectively we raised over $235,000 and this year our goal is to smash the $250,000 mark.
“We can only do that with your help, so please come along to this fun event and be part of this important community action – as every little donation makes a big difference.
“Let’s show the Central Coast how generous our 3 Villages community is.”
Drinks and grazing plates will be provided and donations at the door are welcome.
