Join Mount Evelyn CFA’s volunteers as they host one of their biggest fundraisers of the year on Australia Day.
Returning with the annual car wash on 26 January, all donations go towards providing new equipment or appliances to enhance the brigade’s volunteer firefighting efforts.
Heading once again to Fast Fuel Mount Evelyn from 9am to 1pm, volunteers will wash cars, while the auxiliary will put on a sausage sizzle.
After the years of the pandemic prevented the CFA from running the event, 2023 was the first year back.
Second Lieutenant Adam Myers said “it’s just a Mount Evelyn thing, it’s what we do”.
Whether stopping in for a thorough car wash or just to enjoy a snag from the barbecue, every bit helps in ensuring the brigade can continue providing safe, functional and essential equipment.
Not only is the annual event about fundraising but Second Lt Myers said it brings members together to do something fun, outside of normal duties.
“Australia Day is the perfect day for it because either people are on their way out, or they’re around town and not at work. It’s a good, fun day for us as well and a good bonding experience for the team,” he said.
The car wash is also the perfect opportunity for the community to meet some of their local members and to ask any questions of their local brigade.
Don’t miss the chance to support your local CFA.
