Local celebrities and business people will be caged up at Noosa Civic Shopping Centre this week to fundraise for the Noosaville State School chaplaincy program.
Until Friday 16 June those caged – including former Perfect Match co-host Kerrie Friend – will be helping to secure funds to pay school chappy Michelle Gameiro for her services.
Michelle said in order to run her full-time chaplaincy service she needs to raise 72 per cent of her service costs.
“As chaplain, my role takes on many forms. I provide a free breakfast program each morning and offer one-on-one as well as group social skills programs. I also support students and families through their many issues including grief and loss, financial difficulties and isolation,” she said.
The event aims to raise $38,000 and money can be donated at the cage or online at the Noosaville Chappy Facebook page or Everyday Hero account for Noosaville state school chaplaincy championyourchappy.everydayhero.com/au/champion-chappy-michelle
