The annual event for Light the Sky for Charlee raised more than $39,000, making it one of the highest earning years for the charity. Only topped by last year, organisers suspect the drought had a part to play in ending the year on year growth in donations.
Charlee’s mother, Jamie Ferrar, said the day went better than expected and they were still run off their feet by the end of the night.
“In the five years we’ve been doing this, we’ve raised $143,000, which is amazing,” Jamie said.
“Especially when you consider the tough times everyone is going through.
“It’s been five years of people supporting our event and every year we get new people and new sponsors putting their hands up to help out.”
On top of the usual favourites a fleet of done up trucks turned up for people to admire.
“We try to keep the same things coming every year, it works well for us and everyone loves it.
“But, we’re always happy to have more people join in to help out.”
The event, is run in memory of five-year-old Charlee Ferrar who lost her battle with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).
One hundred percent of the money raised goes to the Isabella and Marcus Foundation which funds research into childhood cancer.
