Indeed a Good Friday for The Royal Children's Hospital with Villawood Properties and Henley Homes raising a whopping $635,000 for their Good Friday Charity Home Auction today.
Fierce bidding saw a flurry of hands raised in order to secure the Charity Auction Home at the Alamanda estate all as part of the Good Friday Appeal 2010.
A long standing fundraising project for the Good Friday Appeal, with the fantastic result bringing the grand total of funds raised over the past 17 years, to $9,574,840.75 – all of which goes to The Royal Children's Hospital.
The house, a part of our brand new Kube luxury collection of homes, included numerous luxury inclusions and attracted some keen bidding on the day. This year saw Henley building and auctioning its 25th Home and Land package for the Good Friday Appeal. The Directors of Henley have now been supporting the Appeal for 17 years, a truly amazing feat and something the company is proud to be apart of.
