‘Our hearts are breaking’: SilverStar staff raising money for Australian wildfires
As Australia continues to battle with what is being dubbed as one of the worst wildfire seasons in its history, staff at SilverStar Mountain Resort are shoring up support.
“All of our hearts are breaking for what is going on back home, so we decided to do something positive,” a staff member in a video posted on SilverStar’s YouTube page said.
On Wednesday Jan. 8 staff will host a barbecue fundraiser with all proceeds going toward the bushfire fund. Staff, many of which are from Australia, will be selling ‘sausage sizzles’ outside the town hall from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Attendees at the event can also enter into a raffle to win a $300 SilverStar gift basket, a $175 SilverStar fire department sprinkler, Blundstone boots, and some photos from a local photographer.
