Wests Group Macarthur members really got behind the Parma for a Farmer campaign in August.
The aim of the month long drive was to raise enough money to buy and send one full semi-trailer load of hay to Aussie farmers doing it tough because of the drought.
For the entire month of August Wests donated $1 from every Chicken Parmigiana and Chicken Schnitzel purchased at its four venues, Wests League Club Campbelltown, Country Club Gledswood Hills, Lakeside Golf Club Camden and Wests Tennis Club.
The result was that it has been a big month for Parmis and Schnitzels across Wests Group Macarthur venues.
Members and their guests went through a lot of Parmis and Schnitzels – for a good cause of course.
Local sporting groups, local businesses and family groups even got together for “Parmi Nights’’ to help raise as much money as possible.
Wests members and guests also made donations via the collection tins provided in club receptions and bistro areas.
In the end $9,500 was raised, which was enough to purchase a full semi trailer load of hay that is now on its way to one of the drought stricken regions of NSW.
“We hope that this semi trailer load of hay relieves some stress for a few of our drought affected NSW farmers and lets them know that we see their struggle, we care and we want to help in a practical way,’’ said Wests Group Macarthur CEO Tony Mathew.
“The community spirit and willingness to show practical support to NSW farmers was heart-warming and certainly a reflection of the community spirit here in Macarthur.
“We thank everyone for their support.’’
