Join the annual chaplaincy fundraising dinner in Kilcoy
The Annual Bring About Hope Chaplaincy Fundraising Dinner is set to unite the community in support of the Mt Kilcoy State School chaplaincy program.
Hosted by school chaplain Peter Robinson (Chappy Pete), the dinner will take place on Friday, October 11, at the Kilcoy Bowls Club.
Chappy Pete said that the dinner is an opportunity to raise funds to ensure that he can continue to provide support to the students of Mt Kilcoy State School all year round.
“Whilst we are blessed to receive government funding for chaplaincy in Australia, few people know that the level of government funding only pays for one day a week at a school,” he said.
“So, for me to remain at Mt Kilcoy State School on a two day a week basis, I need to raise circa $10K per year from within the community to allow me to continue to provide much needed support to the young people at my school.”
Attendees can enjoy a two course meal with live music from a local musician, along with a presentation from guest speaker philanthropist Lord Bob Edmiston.
“This dinner is important because it is a community event to support the young people in our area,” Chappy Pete told The Sentinel.
Tickets are priced at $40, which covers the meal; however, the event will also feature raffles and other opportunities to further support chaplaincy in the community
