Music festival to support Karingal

This weekend’s Motor City Music Festival will help raise funds for the Eastern Hub that will house the ABI (Acquired Brain Injury) Clubhouse.
The three-day festival, full of great bands and great music at the showgrounds in East Geelong, has taken on Karingal as its official charity.
The clubhouse will be a place for people living with an ABI to attend programs and access muchneeded peer support.
“The Karingal Foundation is delighted to be the official charity partner for the 2016 Motor City Music Festival, an outstanding community-focused festival,” Karingal Foundation executive officer Caroline Moore said.
“The commitment by the Motor City Music Festival team to work with us and their enthusiasm to support Karingal’s vision for ‘a fully inclusive community where people with a disability live the life they choose’, and our mission to ‘enrich lives through support, advocacy, partnership and choice’ is second to none.”
The festival brings together an eclectic line up of established independent singer-songwriters, top-line tribute bands, country, rock and a massive family fun day on the Sunday.
“The Motor City Music Festival is a festival for people who want to have fun while hearing great music all weekend. We are committed to making the festival as inclusive and accessible as possible and have been working with the festival to ensure that everyone can enjoy this great event,” Ms Moore said.
Karingal is also looking for people who love great music and have a few hours to spare to help out the foundation at the festival.

The Motor City Music Festival kicks off tomorrow (Friday).
