Flying Bears Raise $4,000 for ARH Research

AUSTRALIAN Rotary Health would love to extend a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to the Teddy Bear Fly-in event hosted by the Rotary Club of Devonport, Tasmania. It was the largest crowd in its thirteen year history of the event running! “I’ve never cooked so many sausages!” said ARH Chairman, Kevin Shadbolt OAM. About 500 bears were purchased and flown into the air by Tasmanian helicopters! Up to $4,000 was raised from the event, with its proceeds going toward an ARH research project about Gastroparesis. It is events like these that Lift the Lid on Mental Illness and support future Australians through health research! ARH
