Our local non-for-profit community organisations are run by a sea of volunteers who kindly give their time to enrich the tapestry of local life.
Behind the scenes, there is also a host of local businesses who donate money to these organisations and ensure the day-to-day operations of these important local assets are kept open, now and into the future.
One of these local assets is the Proserpine Historical Museum which has, for several decades, been welcoming many visitors.
From school children to passing tourists, everyone has left the museum with a deeper understanding of local culture and the rich history of our region.
Paying homage to this vital contribution is a local family business that has just donated $2,950 to the museum.
Each year, Filby’s Motors make a donation for every car sold across the four brands to the Sponsorship Program which is then donated back into community organisations.
And this year, they chose the local museum.
“So thoughtful!” said a museum spokesperson.
“As the museum is a not-for-profit organisation, we really appreciate this kind gesture.
“This donation will be used for future projects, thank you for your continued support.”
Last week, Blake Filby and Emily Harvey presented the cheque to volunteers Peter, Alisa, Gloria, and Ros.
Does your business regularly donate? If so, we’d love to give you a shout out in the Good Deed Feed. Simply send us an email with a few details and your contact information to – bronte@mackayandwhitsundaylife.com – and we’ll get in touch.
