Thank you

We would like to say a huge, huge thank you to Link Housing and everyone who supported the event. In total, you all raised a whopping $181,914, (Home Sweet 2017 raised $120k and it was our goal to meet that, so well done everyone).

We also wanted to give special thanks to our Ambassador and MC on the night, NSW Wicket Keeper Jay Lenton, who was absolutely amazing.
