New year for fundraiser

A swarm of modern and classic Fords will take over South Barwon Reserve to help create fun and laughter for kids facing cancer.

Falcon GT Club Geelong will host Blue Oval Show ‘n’ Shine at Belmont on Sunday, April 27, from 10am to 2pm to raise money for children’s charity Camp Quality.

Treasurer David Witcombe said he looked forward to seeing the event return for its second year and expected close to 200 cars to be displayed.

“Camp Quality is an awesome cause and one which most families are probably going to be touched by in some way or another,” he said.

“We ran our first one last year, and it exceeded all our expectations. We were expecting about 70 or 80 cars, and 150 turned up, which was wonderful.

“We ended up donating $4400 to them, so everything that is generated on the day will go to Camp Quality. So, we aim to repeat what we did last year, but hopefully, it’ll be bigger and better.

“Whatever we get, we’ll give straight to Camp Quality. Our primary objective is to donate as much as we possibly can to the kids… Hopefully, we will have more cars and people coming along on Sunday.”

Entry into the event is available by a gold coin donation on the day, and a barbeque lunch is also available for purchase. Falcon GT Club Geelong will donate all funds raised on the day to Camp Quality.
