When RE/MAX Partners’ sales associate Raelene Box presented an exclusive screening of The Star on Sunday 3rd December at the Hervey Bay Bigscreen Cinemas, the fundraiser for Make-A-Wish® Australia was so well-supported that it exceeded her expectation.
We had a fantastic turnout for our charity movie afternoon,” said Mrs Box, “and raised far more than we’d expected too.
“Ticket sales were higher than expected plus we sold loads of raffle tickets, and all-in-all we raised around $830,000 for Make-A–Wish, which is just awesome.
Mrs Box said special guest, Dan the Magic Man, not only entertained guests before the movie started but also donated an additional raffle prize on top of his services.
“We had some terrific kids dress up in their favourite costumes and thanks to the generosity of local businesses supporting our event we were able to award a prize to the best dressed girl and boy along with numerous others”
RE/MAX Australia is a proud supporter of Make-A-Wish, an organisation that makes vital wishes come true for children and teenagers battling life-threatening medical conditions.
“A lot of effort goes into such fund-raising events and we couldn’t have done it without the support of our local community and our RE/MAX family at Head Office,” said Mrs Box.
