It was a successful fundraiser at the Macedon Kinder Trivia Night, raising $12,000 at Jubilee Hall on September 10.
The Macedon Kinder Committee were the brains trust behind the triumphant return of the night, with the in-person event finally back after two years due to the pandemic.
Organiser and Macedon resident Stephanie Wood said it had been a lot of hard work for the committee and volunteers.
“But it was such a success,” she said.
“We sold out the night and everyone dressed up [in a] ‘M’ for Macedon theme.
“To raise over $12,000 was fantastic and every cent of that goes to fund important programs, incursions and materials for our much-loved Macedon Kinder.”
Master of ceremonies for the evening was former Melbourne deputy lord mayor Arron Wood, with a live auction conducted by Sean at Sotheby’s, with “spirited bidding on an excellent array of prizes”.
A silent auction took place as well, which was supported by donations from many local businesses.
The commitee said events like the trivia night were impossible without their dedicated volunteers and helpers.
“The Macedon Kinder Committee was overjoyed at the support by the local community,” the commitee said.
