Rotary club raises $10,000 through charity ball

The Rotary Club of Umina Beach has raised more than $10,000 through its third annual Central Coast Youth Charity Gala Ball on November 9.

Club president Mr Rouel Vergara said around 120 people attended this year's ball, with the proceeds going to the Top Blokes Foundation, an organisation that primarily works with primary and high school aged boys and young men to combat a range of men's health and social issues.

"We hope that in our little way, we are able to help change young men's lives and help them face the future with courage and resilience," Mr Vergara said.

"The main entertainment was provided to us by Turtle Search Big band who played remarkable music from beginning until the end.

"From the drinks, dinner, the paper plane competition that proved to be a hoot, to the silent auction and the live auction conducted by our resident expert auctioneer Jim Chamberlain, the evening was certainly a memorable one for us," Mr Vergara said.
