The Blackbutt RSL Sub-Branch and Taromeo Rural Fire Brigade each received cheques for $575 this week after a massive fundraising effort by a local Blackbutt business.
Annette and Neville Dodt, from Blackbutt Smash and Mechanical Repairs, chased down sponsors, put together showbags, and sold raffle tickets to raise $1150.
The showbags – $250 worth of value including vouchers, lollies and toys – were sold at the Blackbutt Show, while the raffle tickets were sold from their business and around Blackbutt.
Neville said he was very grateful for the support the couple had been given, and he hoped he would be able to sell even more showbags next year.
“This wouldn’t have been possible without the kind supporting people who donated money and prizes,” he said.
