The She Won’t Be Right Mate (SWBRM) 2024 car show and family day has made a significant impact in the Yarra Valley community and beyond, raising an incredible total of $23,227 in support of vital local health programs and services.
This achievement highlights the unwavering generosity and community spirit of local attendees, sponsors and supporters.
Despite the challenges posed by the extreme heat and the current economic climate, the event succeeded thanks to the dedication of car show attendees, volunteers and the general public who helped us raise these funds for Eastern Health Foundation.
While this year’s total narrowly missed its goal, the impressive $23,227 raised by all demonstrates the collective power of the community.
“Last year we were fortunate to have a private donation boost our total, but this year’s funds reflect the incredible commitment of everyone who attended and contributed,” SWBRM Director Marcus Reeves said.
A formal cheque handover ceremony took place on 17 December at 1pm at Maroondah Hospital, where event organisers presented the donation to representatives from the Eastern Health Foundation.
The event was attended by federal Casey MP Aaron Violi, SWBRM Director Marcus Reeves and various other members of the “She won’t be right mate” volunteer team as well as Eastern Health staff.
This ceremony showcased how the funds raised would support local programs and services, helping people in the Yarra Valley and beyond during tough times.
