Mitchells’ “Sizzle in the Park” for flood vicitims next Thursday: A dollar-for-dollar promise

UPDATE: Due to an overwhelming response, the “Sizzle for Flood Victims” has been moved to more controllable, licensed premises.

This Thursday, January 20th from 4pm, the giant industry fundraiser will be held at the Cambridge Bowling Club, located just west of the Floreat Forum Shopping Centre.

Here’s a great opportunity for the advertising and media industries to once again demonstrate their generosity. To support flood victims across Australia, including our own farmers in the Carnarvon area, Mitchell & Partners is organising a Sizzle in the Park. And Mitchells will match everything raised dollar-for-dollar.

Next Thursday, January 20 at Hyde Park, North Perth from 4pm, everyone in the broader advertising and media industries are invited to pop in for an hour or two, catch up with friends and enemies, have a beer or wine at nightclub prices, buy a Sausage in Bread at Rockpool prices and support some of the other fundraising activities (Yes, we’ve arranged a bar licence).

Obviously the less we pay for food and booze the more we can donate. So if you have clients or friends who might be willing to donate or heavily discount bread, snaggers, tomato sauce, mustard, booze, or anything else we can sell for a ridiculous profit , we’d love your help.

If you have a fundraising idea that will fit on a picnic blanket give Paula Cameron or Anne Bilsby a call at Mitchells on 9442 3000.

There must be some art directors willing to sell some of their creations, writers who’ll flog off an anthology of their poetry – whatever. In the tradition of the Bullshit Band Night, how about a few buskers, please?

Bring your company pride as we’ll no doubt cook up some games that give your team a chance to shine. It will be a brief, casual and fun way to show you care about those devastated by the floods.
