Are you ready to get your groove on all for a good cause?

AWARE Wildlife Rescue is thrilled to be partnering with the Cranbourne Lions Concert Band to help raise money for sick, injured and orphaned wildlife.

The event, to be held at Balla Balla Community Centre in Cranbourne on Saturday 25 August, will feature live music – playing the hits from the 60’s to today – silent auctions, raffles, games and more.

AWARE President, Sharon Bondy said the charity gala was a first for the group, and hoped to attract about 200 people.

“Funds raised will make an enormous difference to wildlife in our area; we are hoping to raise extra money specifically for wildlife food,” she said.

“Funding food costs for animals in care is one the significant costs involved in running a rescue and care service for wildlife and we need the community’s help to feed the orphans and sick we have in care every day, every week.”

Get your friends together and book a table to raise money for local wildlife rescue while enjoying a great night out filled with fun, music, and laughter.

It’s BYO supper with wine and beer available for purchase at the venue.

Tickets $20 adults, $15 concession, or $70 group of four. Details and bookings: https://www.trybooking.com/book/event?eid=370340&
