Communities across Ararat Rural City have again thrown their support behind the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal, raising over $50,000.
In Ararat, CFA volunteers and dozens of local children scoured local streets on Good Friday, collecting $10,102.
A further $4,235 was collected at the traffic lights and more than $1,000 was raised at a concert two weeks ago at the RSL.
Coupled with collection tins (also known as Wellbys), individual fundraisers by groups like Ararat Motorcycle Club and direct pledges to the Good Friday Appeal hotline, Ararat’s grand total was $36,506.
In Willaura, approximately $11,000 has been raised for this year’s appeal.
The Pomonal community raised a staggering $35,000 – mostly from a classic car show.
