2020 Relay For Life On Air Auction
The South Burnett's annual Relay For Life auction will be held on CROW-FM 90.7 between 6:00am and 10:00am this morning. Relay For Life is a fundraiser for the Queensland Cancer Council that draws support from all parts of the South Burnett, but this year its usual $100,000-plus fundraising efforts were derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, organisers are undeterred and they will be holding their traditional auction of rare sporting memorabilia and other items live on local radio this year. Everyone is welcome to tune in and listen to the bidding wars or - even better! - put in a bid or two dozen themselves. You can get a full list of all the items that will go under the hammer this morning on our website
Kingaroy RSL Bingo
Bingo games will be running at Kingaroy RSL from 9:30am this morning (eyes down at 10:30am). There'll be multiple jackpots on offer, along with book games and raffles, and proceeds will go to help local good causes. Everyone is welcome. More details? Phone the RSL on (07) 4162-1755.
