A number of local CFA crews could be spotted out rattling tins for the Good Friday Appeal on 7 April.
Montrose, Lilydale, Mooroolbark and Chirnside Park fire brigades all collected donations this year, both online and in person.
Across the Knox Group brigades, CFA members were able to raise a total of $26,362.50 in notes and coins, with further donations made with card facilities used this year.
In total the CFA, statewide, raised an incredible total of $1,606,287 for the Royal Children’s Hospital.
“A huge thank you to all of our members who took part in fundraising for this year’s Appeal, both today and during the lead up, and an enormous thank you to the community members who have once again been so generous and supported the cause,” the CFA posted to social media.
Once again the Good Friday Appeal raised a record breaking amount of $23,061,320.
“Giving for the kids is what the Good Friday Appeal is all about and what big, generous hearts Victorians have had this year,” Good Friday Appeal Chairman Penny Fowler said.
“We are incredibly grateful to communities in Victoria and all the volunteers for digging deep for The Royal Children’s Hospital.”
