"The people of the Peninsula want to say thank you to our fire fighters and show their support to the hundreds of volunteers who fought so bravely to save homes and property during the bushfires nearly eight weeks ago."

Ms Wales said that leading up to the Benefit Variety Concert, a signed and framed Central Coast Mariners jersey would be auctioned off on Radio Star 104.5FM, from March 20.

The Mariners have each signed the jersey, which has been donated by Bob and Gayle Ferry of Anne Rose Boutique, Woy Woy.

Woy Woy Leagues Club, Ettalong Beach Memorial Club, Woy Woy Bowling Club, Ettalong Bowling Club and Everglades Country Club have also contributed by sponsoring a raffle prize of a home entertainment centre.
