Another bushfire relief fundraiser garnered $783.55 for support efforts.
Scarborough dancer Carys Edwards (9) performed in front of about 30 people at Scarborough Scout Hall on January 18.
“I wanted to do this as I was seeing on the news how bad lots of the animals and people were affected by the fires,” Carys said.
“I wanted to do something myself to help them out, even if it was only going to be little bit, but every little bit would help in some way.”
