Six charities share $26,000 from the Casino Truck Show. The charity partners for the truck show are Get Yourself Checked, Westpac Rescue Helicopter Services, Flanno for a Farmer, Casino Youth Hub, CFD Foundation and St Mary’s Primary School.
Get Yourself Checked receives $12,000, which they will use to continue their mission to get blokes to take charge of their health and get tested for prostate cancer.
The Westpac Rescue Helicopter and Flanno for a Farmer receive $4000 each, with the Casino Youth Hub, CFD Foundation and St Mary’s Primary given $2000 each.
The money was raised from a live auction of a custom made 2.4m x 2.4m bar donated by Moore Trailers Pty Ltd, and a 16-inch air cans canister kit, including stainless-steel bowl and double filter system donated by Air Cans Australia won by Jon Kelly from Heavy Haulage Assets.
Casino Truck Show volunteer committee member Darren Goodwin said the trucking community’s support, both nationally and internationally, had propelled the event to its current success and the Casino Truck Show was glad to give back to organisations that bring awareness and help to them.
“We’re also very proud to give back to our local community who have embraced this event as their own and allow it to grow into one of the premier regional events in the country,” Mr Goodwin said.
“We’d like to thank Scott Gollan of Moore Trailers, and Dave Hunt of Air Cans Australia for their support of the auction, and to Jon Kelly of Heavy Haulage Assets for his generosity as the winning bidder.
“We are looking forward to continuing these partnerships and donations into the future.”
The recently held 2025 North Coast Petroleum Casino Truck Show had about 40,000 people attend in the Casino CBD.
