We are hosting this fundraising event to help with medical expenses, and to create memories with her family.
It is an opportunity for our community to come together and surround one of our own, Sharni, and her beautiful family with love, strength and support as she faces her battle with Motor Neurone Disease.
She volunteers her time to coach, and this year been on our committee supporting fundraising for our club and updating our social media. (She is amazing in these roles).
MND may have changed Sharniβs journey, but it will never change the person she is, the lives she has touched or the place she holds within our netball family.
Shine for Sharni is about filling a room with the people who care about her and creating an afternoon she and her family can hold onto forever.
We are also seeking raffle prizes/donations. If you or your family can contribute with a donation/raffle prize or know someone that owns a business or works at a business that could contribute, please let us know. (I can forward a donation request letter)
