L.J. Hooker Strathalbyn raises funds for CF
LJ HOOKER STRATHALBYN combines Bikes, a BBQ and BodyBeat to raise funds for Cystic Fibrosis!!!
“I have a dream … a fundraising Motorbike Rally!” were the words spoken by Ann Owen from LJ Hooker Strathalbyn (keen motorbike enthusiast) to Mary-Lou from Garage Motorcycles (the queen of motorbikes in Strathalbyn). After an initial ‘brainstorming session’ it was decided that the rally would be ‘cryptic’ via a variety of questions about fabulous Fleurieu!
Mary-Lou from Garage Motorcycles (the queen of motorbikes in Strathalbyn). After an initial ‘brainstorming session’ it was decided that the rally would be ‘cryptic’ via a variety of questions about fabulous Fleurieu!Local business owners showed their generosity by donating ALL the food, items for lunch, a BBQ dinner PLUS a variety of great prizes.
The Motorbike Rally started on 26 May with a total of 38 riders signing on board. Riders enjoyed a cup of warming coffee and some home baked cookies before being marshaled by presiding officials.
The volunteers prepared lunch at Langhorne Creek, and shared a bottle of wine at Bremer House, whilst waiting for the riders to arrive. Who would have thought that a 125cc scooter would be the first??!! Channel Seven cameras and crew stopped at one of the event legs to capture footage of the riders.
The ‘surprise’ BBQ destination was held at Garage Motorcycles offering oodles of onions, sausages and patties. Prizes were handed to winners and items auctioned - the evening finished with BodyBeat performing ‘65 Roses’.
On behalf of LJ Hooker Strathalbyn, a HUGE thank you to all the riders, sponsors and volunteers for their fun and fundraising!
A TOTAL OF $6,452 WAS RAISED!!!!
