'Pass The Hat' On Track To Reach Target

BY KYLE CARROLL

Hunter businesses are supporting struggling farmers through Singleton Council's Pass The Hat fundraising event.

Tomorrow's Pass The Hat event is supporting Rural Aid's Buy A Bale with the support of local businesses.

Singleton Mayor, Sue Moore has encouraged all to attend the event held between 6-10pm tomorrow night on the Civic Green, packed with music, food and drinks.

"Everyone come along and have a good night for a great cause," she said.

The $6,000 that has been raised will be donated to Rural Aid's Buy A Bale but the council is hoping to surpass their $9,500 goal on the night. 

Cr Moore said she's proud of the entire community for getting behind a great cause and coming together.

"Singletons always a great community and it doesn't surprise me that they've all come together to support a great cause."

Support will be available for those struggling due to drought with representatives from Rural Aid, Rural Resilience Program, Salvation Army and Local Land Services.

"Come show your support and Pass the Hat around!" Cr Moore said.
