Pearl Beach event raises $1400 for Mingaletta program
An early intervention education program at Mingaletta will benefit from $1400 raised at an Australia Day event at Pearl Beach.
Pearl Beach Aboriginal History Group member Ms Peggy Todd said the group was able to raise the money at the Family Fun Day on the Beach combined with a sausage sizzle.
She said the group, thanks to Mr Peter Hilliard from Pearl Beach Real Estate, was able present $1400 to Mingaletta co-ordinator Aunty Di O'Brien.
It was the fourth year that Mingaletta had received a donation following the event.
According to Ms Todd, Aunty Di said Mingaletta "really appreciated" the efforts of all of the volunteers who worked to raise the money.
"I always say: United we stand, divided we fall."
