Mother's Day Market raises over $2k

The morning after an elegant Family Weekend Charity Ball, residents and their families enjoyed a beautiful and relaxed Mother’s Day Market held in the Burgmann Village.


In true Burgmann spirit, BRA Village Rep AJ McMahon and BRA Village Whip Milly Dynan, supported by numerous kind-hearted residents, held a Village Market on Mothers' Day with proceeds directed to Growing the Harriet Nixon Scholarship.

The Market featured music, and stalls with pre-loved clothing and books, Burgmann merchandise, baked goods, beautiful handmade posies by Fiona and Liss Nixon with the help of a dedicated team of volunteers, a barbecue, and coffee provided by Blak Bean Coffee & Catering.

The event was a fitting send-off for families and friends following a special weekend of reconnection and celebration, and a touching show of support from our resident community, who successfully raised $2,209 towards the Appeal.

We thank AJ McMahon, Milly Dynan, Blak Bean Coffee & Catering, the volunteers and residents who supported the event, and the families who attended.
