Charity Night Success!
It is with great pleasure that the Altona Juniors announce the total profit from the Jimmy Cupples Charity Night on Friday 14th July is a staggering
$6000!!
Our bidders really stepped up this year, and we are thrilled. The profit will be divided 50/50 between the E.J Whitten & Alannah Madeline Foundations. In addition to the profits we are happy to also add that $700 was raised from a single item, that will be matched by the AJFC for our local Viking Shae-Lee Murphy, to assist her on her quest to the US in October.
