The Variety Brydens Lawyers Bondi to Batt Reef Bash has come to a close, raising an amazing $1.53m to help kids who are sick, disadvantaged or living with special needs. Along the way the Bash visited 12 remote schools, donating over $70,000 worth of essential supplies and equipment to make sure the students get a fair go.
On the final day, the Bashers made it to Batt Reef. It was a day of sun, snorkeling, great food and celebration aboard Quicksilver, with even Scoobie Doo taking the plunge for a dog-paddle and to check out the Reef.
The celebrations continued into the evening, with a Black Tie and Tropical Reef themed final dinner. The evening was an opportunity to celebrate ALL of the Bashers and their amazing achievements fundraising and completing the Bash. There were also some special mentions for this year’s award winners, highest fundraisers and hall of famers.
