AUSTRALIAN SPIRIT SHINES THROUGH FOR NORTHERN NEIGHBOURS
‘Onya Aid – We’ve Got Your Back’
Onya Magazine, together with the support of local businesses and organisations, are proving that Australians are strongest when their neighbours are in need, hosting a fundraiser to raise desperately needed cash for flood devastated Queensland.
With 75% of the state declared a disaster zone, a rising death toll and immeasurable damages amassing, the Australian focussed magazine is stepping up to host Onya Aid, with 100% of proceeds being donated to the people of Queensland.
Onya Magazine Director and Editor-In-Chief Sandi Sieger said, ‘Australia is known for its mateship, especially in times of need. When our neighbours are in trouble, Australians step up and that’s what Onya Aid is all about – community and mateship. We want Queenslanders to know – we’ve got your back.’
Aptly planned for Australia Day, (Wednesday the 26th of January from 12pm – 4pm) the event will be held at Honey Bar and Restaurant on the corner of Park and Clarendon Streets, South Melbourne and all profits from Honey will be donated to Onya Aid.
Honey Bar owner Steve Vallas, who has also generously donated his venue and time, said, ‘Every little bit counts and we are just doing what we can. There is nothing more Aussie than a beer on Australia Day, so why not have a beer with us and help in getting Queenslanders back on their feet.’
The event will host a silent auction of items from Australian companies, and a live auction at 2pm for big ticket items like a Ken Duncan framed print, athletic memorabilia and more. There will be live music, Byron Cooke spinning disks and Melbourne celebrities and local identities in attendance.
Entry to the event is just $5 on the door, with 100% of proceeds from admission, auctions, donations and Honey Bar profits being contributed directly to the cause.
We will be regularly updating this page with auction items and new information about the event.
