Another years fundraising nearly done. The team at Zeke’s Fundraiser can not thank everyone enough for there continued support so far. There has been some ups and downs this year, behind the scenes, on social media and also out in public. With projects such as this one you receive both positive and negative comments. Some you can take on board and improve on for future events and some you just have to cop on the chin.

Overall the Team at Zeke’s Fundraiser have put 2014 down as another successful year. We are looking forward to the new adventures just around the corner which everyone will see in the very near future. Zeke’s Fundraiser will be taking the next step and upping the tempo to bigger and better things. More fundraising, larger events, great music, great entertainment, fantastic auction items, crazy raffles and most of all, raising the much needed money for the best hospital in the world for our beautiful little children.

2014 in Wycheproof seen Tony Genovese and his “Cool 4 Kids” drive all the way from Adelaide just to be with us for the day. The kids thoroughly enjoyed his attendance. Captain Koala attended in the fire trucks and handed out lollies and chocolates. Bouncing castles and slides from Mallee Party Castles provided plenty of fun and bounce for the children. Kendall Phyland and Sherri Parry started the entertainment off on stage while the crowd enjoyed a BBQ cooked by the CFA and SES members while Tracy & Glenn Pardella from the Mount Wycheproof Cafe did a little of there own cooking in the racecourse kitchen. Tim Pattinson from Elders Wycheproof attended the day to run our auction, and did so in style raising a great amount for the hospital. As the day progressed the main acts started on the stage, Billy Bridge and Rebecca Lee Bridge blew the crowd away with there amazing voice and talent, i’m sure Wycheproof will see them again soon. Later on in the evening ‘Brucey’s Datsun’ jumped on stage and sang the night away. With guess appearances from Tom Hutch and Corey Harrison on the drums it was a night to remember.

A special mention to a sales representative from Geelong who works in Melbourne for a company called Maxitrans and Lusty EMS.
