A mega cent sale has raised vital funds for two community organisations when the third, jointly held event conducted by the Sarina Arts and Crafts Centre and Variety, the children’s charity with Arts and Crafts Centre manager Jenny Costello saying it was one of the best,
“We’re very grateful for the support of all those people at the sale, and for those who helped us in organising it. It was thrilling to see the big roll-up at Bob Wood Hall!” she said.
“We had more than 200 prizes as well as raffles and major prizes, so I think the people got value at the sale.”
Jenny Costello, Marg Hinrichs and many other members of the Sarina Arts and Crafts Centre spent months collecting prizes for the sale.
Variety’s Greg and Sandi Power, who helped run the sale, said funds would also go towards helping children through the Variety charity.
The two recently took part in the Variety Bash rally through Queensland’s outback and helped raise more than $2 million.
During the Bash they distributed 200 Where’s Wally beanies to children along the route, which were made by and donated by members of the Sarina Fibre Arts Group.
“The kids loved them. There are heaps of Where’s Wally characters getting around out there now!” they said.
