News ACE/HFCA boat party fundraiser great success

Our annual Funkin' The Bay boat party continues to be a winner.

Held in partnership with ACE (Act, Change, Educate), yet again we sailed the seas with lots of lovely people, some excellent music and a super vibe, to successfully raise funds for both organisations. We raised $4531 with the funds being split equally between the two charities.

Always a highlight of the year, a chance to get together with HFCA and ACE supporters and meet new ones... we look forward to doing it all again next year!
