Frocktober Canberra raises the bar

Dear Frockettes
If you've been keeping an eye on the Everyday Hero page, you'll have noticed that we are just over $400 short of our $10,000 fundraising target for the month! YOU LADIES ARE AMAZING! 

As it's only 10 October, we decided to raise the bar. Frocktober Canberra now aims to raise $15,000 throughout Frocktober, and we need your help to do it!

In addition to your personal sponsorship challenges, we're holding two more events this month to help raise money. The VIP screening of Eat Pray Love at Hoyts Belconnen and the Frocktober Finale party at Flint Dining Room are detailed below. Tickets for both are available fromfrocktober.org/frock-fringe <http://frocktober.org/frock-fringe> . It would be great if you could tell your friends about them.

We hope to see you and your friends there, and we wish you all the best with your Frocktober challenge. 

Frock on!

Amy and the Canberra Frockettes
