Rotary Club of Boulder calls for last-minute donations and sponsorship for annual online radio auction

Last-minute donations and sponsorship are being sought for this year’s Rotary Club of Boulder online radio auction.

Sporting memorabilia, jewellery, artwork and the always-popular ducks are among the donations already made, with more expected before the October 25 cut-off date.

Sponsorship can be made until Monday, with club chairman Stuart Fleming thanking those who had already jumped on board to support the cause.

“The response to sponsorship once again this year has been amazing, with so many of our regulars back on board again as well as some new ones,” he said.

“I think being involved in this event is great exposure for so many local businesses as we advertise all year round and hopefully they all feel part of the end result of our beneficiaries’ projects, some of which wouldn’t happen without the support of this event.”

Mr Fleming said the club was looking to livestream this year’s event for those who could not make it.

All the money raised from the year’s auction will go towards the beneficiaries which include Goldfields Women’s Refuge, Full Circle Therapies, YouthCare, Kalgoorlie and Boulder scout groups, and Kalgoorlie Primary School.

The auction also raises money for the Goldfields Family Assistance Fund, which supports families travelling to and staying in Perth for their child’s medical care, as well as the club’s high school scholarships, defibrillator project, Grab n Go Bags and community barbecue trailer.

Tickets are on sale for the Murphy Boyden Real Estate Launch Party at the Overland Motel on November 1 at Fiesta Canvas and Motor Trimming.
