Charity film night raises $2000
Pretty Beach Public School P&C reported a "huge success" for its fundraising film night last month raising more than $2000 for widows and orphans in Afghanistan.
The Garden at the End of the World film night attracted more than 90 members of the school community and wider community to acknowledge International Women's Day and raise funds for Mahboba's Promise.
"After slow ticket sales, we eventually had 94 people turn up," P&C publicity officer Mr Brian O'Heir said.
"Not only were there many members of the community in attendance, but also from Amnesty International, Rotary, Earth Central, Brisbane Water Soroptimists and Red Cross.
"I especially would like to thank Jane Tryon for donating a beautiful Tunisian tea set, Andrew Hogarth for donating his beautiful photograph and Impact Plants for donating an open order for the raffle.
"My thanks also go to our friends at the Wagstaffe Store, Moochinside and The Bouddi Gallery for selling tickets.
"It was a great night and we raised $2024 for the widows and orphans of Hope House in Kabul."
