The event featured a series of raffles and silent auctions to contribute towards the whopping fundraising total.

Generous donors included Il Matto, The Surfcoast Picnic Co, Harry Brown, With Love, The Salty Dog, Barwon Pool Shop, Boardriders, Jimmy Downey Personal Training, Barbara Anderson, Geelong Cats, Jenny and Matt Gude.

“It’s a great sense of accomplishment to have raised $2046 for Geelong Mums, and we are so grateful for the generous companies who donated to the silent auction and the amazing women on the day.

“The funds raised will undoubtedly make a positive impact on Geelong Mums.

“Their commitment to providing essential items, such as baby and children’s equipment, to families facing financial challenges really resonated with us.

“Now more than ever, families need our support.”
