Fizz Mayberry spoke to the club about his involvement with KidsFix Rally.
In 1998 participated in a Camp Quality Rally with a 1962 Pontiac wagon. Present Commodore last nine years. All donations go to the cause, with members of rally paying own expenses as well as car expenses. Originally Camp Quality had 5 on staff with 2 paid employees. After 15 rallies it had grown to 132 paid staff. Decided to do their own thing, starting a foundation dedicated to support sick and disadvantaged kids. First rally in 2013, from 2014 to 2020 raised over $750,000, with Board receiving requests for projects each year, with five selected.
Rally provides an instruction "Bible" with directions but no maps.
Last 2 years still fundraising as committed to projects, although no rally was able to be held.
Numurkah hospital has been the recipient with a children's playground and portable ultrasound equipment.
Other recipients have been Broken Hill Hospital, Gympie Hospital, Dental Outreach, Western Area Hospital NSW, Shoalhaven Hospital, Milton Ulladulla Hospital, Latrobe Regional Hospital, Dubbo Base Hospital, Bendigo Health.
Make many life-long friends, with participation the reward.
