Magic show fun for some very excited children!
A group of excited children from our Rise school mentoring program had THE BEST time at the ‘World Festival of Magic’ show!
Rise on the Central Coast was lucky to receive free tickets to the show, and our families were very grateful for the experience.
To make the day a little more special, SHINE for Kids created goodie bags for the day.
Everyone LOVED the show! One little girl was so astonished by the magic that she said to her mentor, “The Magician is doing the tricks so fast, my eyes can’t keep up!”
“Thank you so much! The kids and I loved it so much!” said one mother.
“Thanks again for the tickets and snacks! You’re amazing really appreciate it. The show was great!”
Thank you so much to the Lions Club of Wyoming, East Gosford and the local business community for donating the tickets.
For many families, money is tight at the moment and getting to have an experience like a show or big day out is a rare treat. We are so pleased that we could make this happen, every child deserves some fun, and our team loves to reward the children for working so hard during the school term in their Rise mentoring sessions.
Support our Rise mentoring program, and donate today. Every bit counts.Â
Thank you to The Benevolent Society for supporting Rise on the Central Coast. Â
