Tyre centre in fund-raiser for Camp Quality with barbecue

BARWON Tyre and Auto Centre is a business with a heart.
And the heart beats long and loud for Camp Quality, creating a better life for kids living with cancer.
Owner Graeme McMahon and his team are long-time supporters of Camp Quality, holding a number of fund-raising events for the charity.
The gang will be manning the barbecue at Bunnings Waurn Ponds all day on Sunday and would love to see plenty of customers popping in to buy a sausage for lunch.
Graeme is also a regular entrant in the annual Camp Quality EsCarpade and this year aims to raise $15,000 as part of the $1.2 million total.
This year the EsCarpade runs from 17 to 24 October, from Narrabri heading off to St George and Charleville to Longreach and returns through Emerald and Roma, finishing in Goondiwindi.
“It’s a seven-day trek and we cover 6500 kilometres. It’s all in good fun and we do lots of school visits to promote Camp Quality,’ Graeme says.
“Laughter really is the best medicine and hopefully we spread some cheer along the journey.”
It’s become part and parcel of the family owned and operated business that doesn’t just offer quality tyres – there’s also a full range of mechanical repairs available.
Barwon Tyre and Auto Centre has a well-earned reputation for personal service, customer care and attention to detail.
Barwon Tyre and Auto Centre stocks a wide range of tyres to suit all vehicles, big or small.
For local service, value for money and expert advice visit Barwon Tyre and Auto Centre at 1 Curtis Street, Belmont, or call 5241 1944.
