Giving back
A CareFlight Giving Back Charity Dinner will be held at Ocean Beach Surf Lifesaving Club on Saturday, October 8, from 6-9:30pm.
The dinner will feature guest speaker Sergeant Samantha Barlow from the NSW Police Force who will talk about her recovery after being bashed on her way to work two years ago.
The dinner is being organised by Umina resident Mr Andy Moses after his son Reuben was hit by a car in June last year.
"I've seen CareFlight at work and what they do is awesome," said Mr Moses.
"The least we can do is help them by continuing to make it all possible.
"When somebody gives of themselves to help you out, you naturally want to respond to that generous giving.
"When staff from an organisation like CareFlight gave of themselves to help my son Reuben after he was hit by a car in June 2010, I want to give back to them, because of the impact of that event on my life.
This year's dinner will attempt to exceed last year's fundraising efforts of $4500 with $20 of the $52 entry fee going directly to the charity.
