Last year’s Monbulk Car Show raised $10,000 for the local community.
Organisers presented 70 per cent of the funds to the Monbulk Fire Brigade.
“I would like to congratulate and thank the Monbulk Fire Brigade, in its many parts, for helping put on this fantastic community event,” event organiser Richard Licciardi said.
The event ran in late November and attracted “impressive attendance numbers” in its seventh year.
“The amount we have raised is a fitting reward for all the hard working volunteers that put on this great day for the community,” Mr Licciardi said.
“We know this money will do real, tangible good in our community.”
As a representative from Monbulk and District Community Opportunities Workgroup (MADCOW) which hosts the show, he thanked the hard working committee of Glenn, Natalie, Karen, Peter, Rene and Laurie.
“We all believe Monbulk is a very special place, untouched by development and filled with good hearted community people,” Mr Licciardi said.
“The car show has become the biggest day on the town’s calendar and it is satisfying to hear entrants and spectators complement our volunteers on the unpretentious and welcoming manner in which we run our show.
“All are invited to come along and enjoy an affordable family day out in the heart of the Dandenongs.”
This year’s dates will be released soon.
