Rockpool Bar & Grill digs deep for Victorian Bushfire Appeal

February 20th, 2009. Posted by luane

The team at Bar & Grill Melbourne are certainly doing what they can to help the Victorian Bushfire Appeal and have raised an impressive $6955.  I could not be more proud.

Throughout the course of a week all Rockpool Bar & Grill staff offered to donate their tips - this raised the first $3,500 which was followed by another stellar effort on Valentine’s Day.

In conjunction with Street Smart, customers dining with us on Saturday 14th  recieved a flyer in their bill folder asking for donations to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal.  The community minded team at Rockpool Bar & Grill Melbourne once again offered to donate all tips as well as anything else the customers wanted to add.

A final charitable donation of a $300 gift voucher to dine in our beautiful Melbourne restaurant is due to go under the hammer very soon and this will raise further funds for those who need it most.

For further information on donating to the Victorian Bushfire appeal, please visit the Red Cross website.  http://www.redcross.org.au/vic/services_emergencyservices_victorian-bushfires-appeal-2009.htm
