🎉 WE DID IT — and WOW, did you show up. 🎉
To celebrate 25 years in Port Stephens, we asked YOU to tell us which local groups deserved a share of what we raised… and you delivered. Hundreds of nominations, loads of shares, and a community that clearly looks after its own. ❤️
Together we raised $5,450 — smashing our $5,000 goal! 🙌
Drumroll… your TOP 3 most-nominated groups are:
🥇 Birubi Point Community Preschool — 102 nominations
🥈 Salamander Early Education — 45
🥉 Tomaree Neighbourhood Centre — 19
These three will share in the $5,450 we've raised together. 👏
But here's the thing — so many incredible groups got nominated that we just couldn't stop at three.
So we're keeping it going. 🎄
From now until Christmas, we'll be putting a percentage of every sale back into the community — and giving it to MORE local groups every single month. We're hoping to put around $2,000 back each month, split between 2 winners voted by YOU, the same way as before.
👉 COMMENT the local charity, school, club or community group you'd love to see supported.
👉 SHARE to rally votes for them.
The 2 most-nominated each month will share in that month's giveback — and to spread the love around, each group can win a maximum of 2 times.
This is OUR community, and we're not done giving back to it. Tag the groups that matter to you. 💙
