Make It Rain: A Community Festival for Bushfire Aid

'Make It Rain: A Community Festival for Bushfire Aid' is a collaborative effort to raise much-needed funds to repair the damage from these fires to our beautiful country.

In times of need, community strength shines its brightest - and Australia's devastating bushfire crisis needs as much help as it can get. This 1-day festival event brings together the cream of a very creative Melbourne crop, offering interactive experiences and entertainment from midday to midnight!

With thanks to The Third Day at North Melbourne for generously partnering with us to make this happen, and donating all profits from their bar - so drink up!

WHICH ORGANISATIONS ARE WE SUPPORTING?
1) Animal Rescue Collective (https://mkc.org.au/donations/trcqld)
It is estimated well over half a BILLION animals have perished so far in the bushfires. Those that remain have lost their habitats, and therefore have no food or shelter. Countless others need urgent medical attention. ARC will drop 10 tonne of food to starving animals in burned our bushland every fortnight. Water. Food. Meds.

2) Blazeaid (https://blazeaid.com.au/)
A volunteer-based organisation that works with families and individuals in rural Australia after natural disasters such as fires and floods. BlazeAid volunteers work in a disaster-affected area for many months, not only helping individuals and families, but also helping rebuild the local communities. It relies entirely on donations and does not receive any direct government funding.

Lastly.... THANK YOU! Without each and every one of you supporting this cause, and our efforts, we would not be able to achieve anything.
