Raised Money...!

After quite a long time counting money, the total money raised has finally been confirmed!


Raffle tickets : $686.95
Concert tickets : $957.10


... making the total amount of money raised $1644.05! (Not too sure where the 5 cents came from... )


Even though we previously mentioned that the raffle ticket money will be kept for other uses, we have now decided to donate both raffle and concert ticket money to the Jubilee Ministries, where I am sure it will be put to great use!

The concert flyer

Please help to distribute the flyer if you can. Thanks

We need your support

We wish to raise $1000 dollars, i.e. 200 concert tickets sale,  for Jubilee Ministries this year. We are receiving posive reponses from many friends and have received some $400 from pre-sale tickets today.

We are also hoping to sell some 500 raffle tickets at door i.e. $500 for other uses such as for organising next year's concert. We wish that the idea of youth charity concert can be implemented every year by many other youth musicians in Toowoomba. Any youth musician in Toowoomba who would like to organise next year's concert, please send us an email jenyu.shaw@gmail.com or/and youthcharityconcert@gmail.com

Please arrive earlier to see these bonsaies and purchase some raffle tickets before the concert.
The concert program will be available on the day for 50 cents.

We are hoping to receive strong support from you in the coming week.

Thank you
Jenyu, Emile, Scott and Jaryu
