Fundraisers are a dime a dozen these days, with a school, charity or sporting club holding an event or launching an appeal online seemingly every day of the week.
But as common as they are, most fundraisers are still largely the same: raffles, auctions, concerts and sausage sizzles or a campaign through an online platform.
However, on Sunday, September 28, Sunshine’s Duke Street Community House will be doing something a different to generate much needed funds.
The “Flash and Find” event involves people getting a flash tattoo in order to support Duke Street Community House, while funds will also be raised through old fashioned means like market stalls and a sausage sizzle.
The event will be held at Kisume Canvas tattoo studio in Footscray and Duke Street manager Emma Price thanked owners Kisume and Dee for their support.
“More and more we are having to look at creative ways of fundraising, so it is amazing when community focused local business owners like Dee (and Kisume) have these fun and exciting ideas and want to help support our work,” said Ms Price who explained what initiatives the money would go towards.
“Funds raised will support pivotal community programs including our social inclusion activities and our food relief service.
“I love the thought that people will be able to look at their beautiful tattoos and know they’ve also contributed to supporting community.”
