A Kyneton family is gearing up to hit the road for the Variety Brats Bash, to raise funds for children who are sick, disadvantaged or living with a disability.
Travelling as Team Uno, Kaitlin and Christian Pearce, along with their kids Toby (11) and Mabel (12), will depart from Daylesford for Kangaroo Island on Easter Tuesday.
Kaitlin says they are proud to be taking part in what will be an unforgettable family adventure with purpose!
“As we travel through regional towns in a convoy of colourfully themed cars as a family, we’ll be delivering grants, equipment and support directly to kids, schools and communities that need it most,” Kaitlin said.
“It’s a fun-filled road trip for a cause close to our hearts.
“Last year the kids did the Bash with their Pop and myself, driving from Renmark to Alice Springs, and raised over $10,000 from friends, families and businesses.
“Along the way, the kids on the Bash presented grants to local schools and communities. One grant funded a whole school excursion to Monarto Zoo. So it’s all about kids fundraising for other kids!”
The family is also holding a fundraiser at the Shamrock Hotel in Kyneton on Sunday March 29 from 1pm.
There will be live music, raffles and a live auction. Go along for a fun-filled afternoon to support Team Uno’s fundraising efforts.
