Fundraising success at Alexandra Pro Rodeo

Ritchie Timms took on a challenge to ride a steer at the Alexandra Pro Rodeo, to raise funds for our food van plans.
What began as a bit of fun with a target of $1000, quickly ballooned with donations flowing in from far and wide over the following weeks. The final fundraising tally came in at $5100.
“The support was overwhelming,” said Ritchie. “The whole community got on board.”

Our programs and events are held on the lands of the Taungurung people and we wish to acknowledge them as Traditional Owners. We would also like to pay our respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging and Aboriginal Elders of other communities who may be here today.

We acknowledge that we are on Taungurung Country. We hereby express our respect for the Taungurung people, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which we are based. We pay our respects to their leaders and Elders past, present and emerging, for they hold forever the memories, traditions, culture and hopes of all Taungurung people. We express our gratitude for the sharing of this land.
