Lions help raise $1,600 for hospital auxiliary

Toukley Lions Club members Colin Pike and Marlene and George Farram

A special day at Bunnings Lake Haven co-ordinated by Toukley Lions Club on July 27 raised more than $1,600 for Wyong Hospital Auxiliary.

The club ran a barbecue to raise finds for United Hospital Auxiliary, of which Wyong Hospital is a participating member.

The money raised on the day will be used to buy much-needed equipment for Wyong Hospital.

Bunnings also allocated space within the store so auxiliary members could conduct a raffle to further boost funds.

Lions Club President Barry Farr said it was a joint effort and the club looked forward to the opportunity of exploring further opportunities for combining with community groups.

Bunnings at Lake Haven allows not-for-profits groups to raise more than $100,000 per year between them.
