The team said the initial target had been $300 but, whilst the cheque in the picture indicates $7,405.95, the total amount raised was an incredible $8,047.45, exceeding all expectations.

A great number of people in our community had been affected by loss last year, so this was a fitting way to give something back to the local community.
