Gala raises $151,000 for Tassie kids

Tasmanian children living with disability or disadvantage.
More than 470 guests attended Variety Tasmania’s Variety of Chefs Gala Ball at Wrest Point, with the charity’s biggest fundraising event of the year surpassing its fundraising target.
Variety Tasmania CEO Mohammad Aldergham said the result demonstrated the generosity of the Tasmanian community and would provide life-changing assistance to children and families across the state.
“Funds raised through the event will support Variety Tasmania’s grants, programs and experiences, helping children access equipment, services and opportunities they may otherwise miss out on,” he said.
“The gala result follows another significant year for the organisation, which supported 26,693 Tasmanian children and allocated 124 grants worth more than $556,000 over the past 12 months.
“The $151,000 raised at the ball will allow Variety to extend this support to even more families.
“The annual Variety of Chefs Gala Ball is the organisation’s major fundraising event, bringing supporters together to raise funds for Tasmanian children while celebrating the impact of Variety’s work across the state.”
