After two days of solid rain the clouds parted last Friday morning for Sunshine Butterflies annual Walk in Wings, an all-inclusive walk along the Noosa River foreshore celebrating the community.
More than 300 walkers and plenty of dogs dressed for the occasion aimed at creating awareness and celebrating all our differences and this year’s event had another goal to raise money to buy a Kubota to make work easier on the Sunshine Butterflies farm.
Currently, essential tasks like feeding animals, waste disposal, and manure spreading are carried out manually with wheelbarrows so the organisation aims to buy the agricultural vehicle to improve working conditions for members, staff and volunteers and ensure the welfare of farm animals on their 15-acre property.
The event raised about $9000 with a target of $15,000 by the end of October. Once this goal is achieved, their valued partners, Team Body Corporate, have pledged a further $5,000 to reach a final total of $20,000.
There were lots of prizes and giveaways at the event as well as entertainment by Sunshine Butterflies members. The event couldn’t have gone ahead without the support of numerous sponsors including Herbalife and contributors including Jimmy and Tam, winners of ‘The Block’ 2020 and ‘Renovate or Rebuild’, their MC, ‘Nugget’ from 91.1 Hot with Sam & Ash broadcasting live on the day.
