Flood Victims Appeal Fundraiser  - Tivoli 2011

masoniCare, the charity of the United Grand Lodge of NSW & ACT, raised a remarkable $7,181 at an entertainment night for flood victims, bringing the total amount raised to $82,622.55

Presented by Lodge Thespian in association with masoniCare, the entertainment extravaganza – Tivoli 2011 – was held to support the masoniCare Flood Victims Appeal last night.  The impressive line-up of variety artists attracted more than 150 people to the event, which was held at the Sydney Masonic Centre.

All artists, including a four piece band, who performed kindly donated their time free of charge. The extremely gifted and amusing artists included – Donna Lee, Tete a Tete, John Mansour, Daniel Issac Jones, Amber Jade and the highly talented host for the evening Dee Donavan . Dee closed the evening by performing a duo with the Grand Master of United Grand Lodge of NSW & ACT - Dr Greg Levenston.

This successful night brings the total amount raised by the generosity of Freemasons, their families and friends to $82,622.55 for the masoniCare Flood Victims Appeal. This is in addition to the $100,000 already donated to the Qld Grand Master’s Flood and Cyclone Appeal.

“The flood disasters have caused massive damage not only to homes, property and equipment but also to lives and livelihoods of people in QLD and parts of NSW, ACT and VIC. I would like to thank everybody who donated to the masoniCare’s Flood Victims Appeal, for their selfless generosity throughout this appeal – without them this would not have been possible” said RW Brother Greg Redfern Chairman of masoniCare

The masoniCare Marketing and Fundraising committee has already begun the process of identifying worthy recipients to receive the money raised, which should be completed by the 30 April. Final decisions will be publicly announced by masoniCare at that time.

masoniCare is the official charity of Freemasons in NSW and the ACT. masoniCare aims to improve the lives and wellbeing of people in our community.  Over the years, through generous fundraising and assistance, masoniCare has proudly made that difference to a diverse cross section of many communities.
