Inverloch backs family
AT LEAST $2500 was raised for an Inverloch family in need at the Inverloch and District Preschool’s walkathon on Sunday.
And another $1000 could roll in from sponsorship pledges.
Children tackled laps of an obstacle course at the Inverloch Recreation Reserve before enjoying horse and cart rides, fun in the jumping castle and face painting.
Others explored the Inverloch CFA truck, discovered balloon tying magic or had their fortune read.
Parents hoped for luck in the raffle draw and tucked into a BBQ lunch.
Funds raised from the day will go towards an education fund for a preschool family whose mother died recently.
Event coordinator and committee member, Michelle Matthews, was delighted by the community’s interest.
“Because we were fundraising for a family that had lost their mother, I think we had a lot more support,” she said.
“It was a reflection on the community that we have because of the support they gave us and the fact so many people volunteered their time on the day.”
