Our communities stepping up, fundraising for Bush Fire Relief

MAD Wednesday with Robbie and Dean returned to the airwaves for 2020 with a more serious tone than planned.

With bush fires raging across the country, we used the bulk of our show to highlight individuals and organisations in our communities, holding fundraisers for those affected by the fires – from people, wildlife and more.

In this podcast they speak to:

Dean Murphy from Rock City who has combined with POOF DOOF to hold a massive fundraiser at Chasers on Thursday 9th January where all ticket and bar profits will go towards bushfire relief.
Bushrangers Basketball Victoria who are holding a fundraiser on Friday 10th January.
Pride Cup are donating 100% of their profits from the ales of their Pride merchandise over the next two weeks to the Gippsland Emergency Relief Fund & the CFA Public Fund.
Hannah Mouncey is auctioning her shirt from her first match playing for Australia in 2012 to rain money for wildlife injured in the fire and the bushfire relief fund.
This weekend Sircuit and Mollies are holding an all weekend fundraiser, encouraging all who enter the venue to give however they can, with huge auctions thanks to generous sponsors.

Everyone is just doing what they can to help those in need however they can.

The fires and the loss and devastation are not over, and may take years to heal, so it’s only right we do what we can to help.
