A group that raises money for vulnerable children overseas is hosting a fundraising event at the Big Pub at Malanda in July.
Christmas in July, which will be held at the hotel on 15 commencing at 6pm, promises a traditional Christmas dinner with the festive trimmings by the fireside plus a Silent Auction to raise funds for Regained projects helping kids in Kenya.
Regained president Robyn Lindsay said the funds raised would go towards helping vulnerable children to regain opportunities lost through disability, poverty or being orphaned.
Regained is a locally-based registered charity that provides support for children to access much needed medical services as well as assisting children with a disability to attend specialised schools.
Ms Lindsay will be travelling back to Kenya in August to visit the children and families who benefi t from the work of the group.
“We would like to invite your staff to dress up in Christmas winter woollies and join us for a great evening together,” she said.
Christmas in July at the Big Pub costs $50 per person. Those interested in attending can book and pay for a table directly with the hotel before 9 July on 4091 7720.
