Brisbane Basket Brigade 11th Dec 2011

I am a committee member of the Brisbane Basket Brigade (BBB) that are a part of the International Magic Moments Charity.

All around the world we all raise money and get donations for our Christmas delivery to the needy. After much fundraising through the year, delivery day was upon us. Dad helped out with pick ups of donations and food bought on the Friday, and Saturday for delivery to the school and set up for Sunday.

 Sunday 8am was a beautiful sunny day and we had over 250 people turn up by 9.30 to help: wrap presents, colour in pictures to stick on the boxes, make up boxes, pack and deliver boxes to the needy.

 Everyone pitched in: Dad helped out with carparking, Mum was a Funster, Mikey looked after the free sausage sizzle and I looked after the registration, raffle sales and raffle draw.

 Everyone was in great spirits and we where all in the Christmas spirit and done by 12.30. Awesome achievement!! We helped put a smile on 768 people faces, that is 249 families! 346 boxes packed with food, gifts and love.
