WARWICK teen Bubbles Barbierato is hosting a fundraiser for the Black Dog Institute on Monday 24 October – the Boot Scootin’ Black Dog Charity Auction.
The Black Dog Institute is a charity for mental illnesses and suicide prevention.
One in five Australians are affected by mental illnesses and suicide is one of the leading causes of death in young Australians.
Bubbles has decided that it is time to start acting and show people suffering with a mental illness that there are people who care about them.
Californian country music singer Jared Porter, who now lives in Australia, is also passionate about the cause and will be performing on the night.
Jared performed at CMC Rocks earlier in the year and has had numerous award wins and nominations, including Golden Guitar Finalist for New Talent and Finalist for CMC New Oz Artist of the Year.
On Monday 24 October the doors to the Douglas Feez Pavilion at the Warwick Showgrounds will open at 6pm.
An auction will be conducted by Dave Maher and Lincoln McKinlay with many great items up for sale including a Melrose Station Bell, which is similar to the Condamine Bell, and are very widely sought after.
There will also be signed memorabilia from the North Queensland Cowboys and the Brisbane Broncos.
The auction will then be followed by a two-course barbecue banquet dinner with food sponsored by the Ranch Bakehouse, Carey Bros, Eagle Boys, and Zarraffas.
There will be various raffles on the night including a stallion service fee raffle for two top stallions, Mr Bonbastic from the famous Rooftop Express Show and Hot Spot from Lonesome Dove Performance Horses.
To finish the night there will be live entertainment by Jared Porter and a Boot Scootin’ competition in which the dancer having the most fun will win a weekend getaway for two kindly donated by HelloWorld Warwick.
Tickets are $25 per person pre purchased or $30 at the door, children under 12 are free.
Call Bubbles on 0431 166 157 to secure tickets.
