Selling pizzas for charity
A pizza store in Umina has raised $750 for charity from the sale of its pizzas on September 4.
The Eagle Boys Chew for Charity raised money for the Cancer Council by selling a total of 420 pizzas.
Throughout the 11-hour fundraiser drive the staff served 214 customers to reach its $750 goal.
Store owner Mr John Milne said the night proved to be a big success for staff and customers who took part.
"It was a fun night," Mr Milne said.
"The Eagle Boys Umina team dressed up in favourite footy team jerseys and worked hard to keep up with the demand for a worthy cause.
"I recently had a friend pass away from cancer, and so raising money for the Cancer Council was very important to me.
"This was our first major fundraiser and we look forward to holding another one in the future."
