Forbes Preschool Host Art Show And Raise Funds For RMHC

For many years, the team at Forbes Pre­school had talked about the possibility of hosting an art show. It was one of those wonderful ideas that kept getting pushed down the “to do later” list as other things popped up. But this year, it finally hap­pened, and with a heartfelt purpose.

With many local families having spent time at Ronald McDonald House in both Central West and Westmead, this was the perfect opportunity to give back. The Pre­school team and children worked hard in the many weeks leading up to the exhibition ensuring a successful Art show and Auction.

The preschool was buzzing with excite­ment as families, friends, and locals came together to admire the children’s artwork, bid on donated pieces from local artists, and take part in raffles and silent auctions.

The walls were filled with colour, laughter echoed throughout, and there was a sense of pride in what everyone had helped to cre­ate.

Director of the Preschool, Amy Shine ex­pressed “A massive thank you to everyone who donated their time, prizes, and art; to those who bought raffle tickets, artwork, and just came along to show support. None of it would have been possible without you.

“I would especially like to acknowledge the hard work of the Preschool team, they worked so hard leading up to the event and on the night, without their collective efforts none of this would have been made possi­ble, their dedication, commitment and crea­tivity continues to go above and beyond.”

What started as an idea many years ago has now become a highlight of the year, a beautiful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together for a cause that truly matters. It was a huge suc­cess, with the final profit of $20,000 being shared between the Ronald McDonald Houses.
