BALLARAT’S SES Unit is bringing together volunteers and the broader community to raise money for the organisation at a gala event.<\/p>\n

The function, to be held on Saturday 24 May, will be held at The Grand Ballarat with live music entertainment from local act Shell Yeah!.<\/p>\n

This year marks 50 years of the Victorian SES and the fundraiser aims to recognise the work of local volunteers with all money raised going towards resources and equipment.<\/p>\n

Businesses are invited to support the fundraising event by donating items which can be auctioned.<\/p>\n

“This is a fantastic opportunity for the community to come together and support the incredible work of our SES volunteers,” Sam Lomholt, Ballarat SES Unit volunteer said.<\/p>\n

“Every dollar raised will go directly towards upgrading our facilities, creating a space that truly reflects the dedication and pride of our volunteers.”<\/p>\n

The event also falls just after Wear Orange Wednesday, an annual day where the community is encouraged to wear orange to support SES volunteers, and during national volunteer week.<\/p>\n

Businesses interested in donating are asked to contact Ms Lomholt by emailing sam.lomholt@members.ses.vic.gov.au<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
