Final tally: $37,000+ raised for MND Victoria in slider donations, raffle money and gold coin donations.
PLUS $3,495 in sock sales raised for Fight MND.
We are so incredibly proud of our Titan community, and super grateful to all those people and businesses that supported our event - those who volunteered their time, gave prizes for our raffle, donated services and activities for our event, braved the icy water and raised an incredible amount of money - the list really is endless of those that contributed to an amazing event!
A big thank you to all - our committee, in particular Colleen and the entire Cadman family, who really went above and beyond to create this event - but it’s our Titan Community who backed us and made it what it was. THANK YOU.
The money raised for MND Victoria will go a long way to helping fight MND and support those families who battle with this terrible illness every day. MND Victoria provide a range of services and information across Victoria to support people with MND, as well as their carers, family, friends and health professionals - offering information about the disease and treatment options, support groups and programs for not only those who suffer from MND but their carers and families, helping those newly diagnosed through treatment options and plans, and also offering life changing technology and equipment to help support general day-to-day life with MND.
A big thank you to all our sliders, volunteers and helpers on the night, plus of course the amazing businesses who donated goods and services to our cause:

And finally, some feedback from MND Vic:
”It was our pleasure to attend on Sunday. It’s the least we could do to show our appreciation for all your incredible efforts.
What you and those around you put together was phenomenal. It’s one of the largest community fundraising events for MND Vic over the last few years. Even our Finance Manager made comments after reconciling all the online donations - “That event in Berwick is huge! So many donations”.
