McGregor Gardens has given over thousands to Pakenham CFA to do their part in supporting local firefighters.
On Wednesday 26 February, Menarock LIFE McGregor Gardens held a raffle that was good fun for a good cause.
All proceeds and donations of the raffle were collected and donated to the Pakenham CFA.
Residents, families and staff contributed to the several thousand dollars raised and formally handed the funds over on the day.
The fundraiser was in response to local pleas by brigades for support.
“It was just a way to show we could give back, and they really appreciated it,” Menarock coordinator Stephanie Ledwidge said.
The funds will help the overall efforts of volunteer firefighters, which are dependent significantly on donations and fundraising.
