A country music fundraiser with a ‘whole lot of heart’

MORE than $3k was raised for Port Macquarie Base Hospital’s Renal Unit on Saturday, 5 April through the Camden Haven Country Music Fundraiser at the Laurieton United Services Club (LUSC).

LUSC Marketing and Entertainment Co-ordinator Dakota Bonney said the club was filled with “music, laughter, and a whole lot of heart”.

“With the incredible support of our community, we’re thrilled to share that over $3,000 was raised for the Port Macquarie Base Hospital Renal Unit, part of the wider Hasting’s Macleay Renal Network.”

This vital unit, equipped with twelve chairs, provides comprehensive haemodialysis treatment to private, DVA, and uninsured patients from across Australia.

“Their Renal Medicine Department is a lifeline for those living with kidney disease – offering compassionate care, expertise, and hope to many in need.”

Local artists and bands lit up the stage with fantastic performances, while raffles and fun competitions brought everyone together with smiles and generosity.

“The fundraiser was a true celebration of community spirit,” Dakota said.

“We are incredibly proud of the turnout and grateful to every person who contributed to this meaningful cause.

“It’s days like these that remind us just how powerful a united community can be.”
