THE Landsborough community turned out in force for a fun-filled afternoon at the recent Crab Races at the Landsborough Hotel, with the popular event proving a major win for local fundraising and community spirit.
Held in partnership with the Landsborough Hotel, its staff and the wider community, the event raised $4,100 on the day for the Landsborough Rural Fire Brigade, helping support the vital work volunteers carry out to protect the local area.
The strong result lifts the Brigade’s total fundraising tally to $9,851 since the previous Crab Races held over the King’s Birthday long weekend, a figure that also includes proceeds from the Hotel’s ongoing meat tray raffles.
Brigade representatives said the continued backing from the Landsborough Hotel and its team had been instrumental in the success of the fundraising efforts, with community-driven events playing a crucial role in keeping the Brigade operational and well equipped.
Beyond the funds raised, the Crab Races provided an opportunity for locals to come together, enjoy some light-hearted competition and show their support for the volunteers who give their time to serve the community.
The Landsborough Rural Fire Brigade has extended a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, donated and helped make the event such a success.
