The event raised an amazing $2267.85 along with a very generous donation from the Jeparit FARTS (Friends All Riding Together Socially) Fundraising group who donated a massive $1700.00 from their sales of delicious cooked lunches over the Pioneer Museum weekend. Thank you so very much to everyone who contributed to this event by donating cooked goodies, volunteering your time, raffle donations, The Jeparit Pioneer Museum Committee for offering us this great opportunity & for the members of the public who purchased our goods & made kind donations towards Ethan's Assistance Dog.

We are trying to raise funds for Ethan to have a seizure/ autism dog trained especially for his needs. This will allow Ethan to be independent, to keep him safe & to alert people to his seizures.
Ethan's Mother Sarah started up a gofundme page in May last year in the hope of raising enough money to achieve this goal.
Friends have banded together this year to help Sarah raise vital funds towards the Assistance Dog by hosting a Market Day BBQ & a Devonshire Tea. Along with the gofundme account we are working towards the Goal of $30K
This page has been set up to keep the Public updated on Ethan & our Fundraising progress towards a much needed Assistance Dog.
