Newcastle shows that local acts have global impact
War Child Australia extends sincere thanks to Felicity, Meegan and Kelly for organising this extremely successful event, which raised more than $7000 for War Child projects.

Muscial extravaganza

Poster advertising the event Three Newcastle women organised a huge fundraising gig for War Child. Using their skills and contacts the organisers put together a stellar entertainment lineup. They then approached local businesses and organised the printing and distribution of posters and flyers, stories on the local Nine News and in the Newcastle Herald and Newcastle Post (including the front cover of its entertainment lift out), interviews on local radio stations, and free ads in the Newcastle Herald.
