The Border Caravan and Camping Expo is currently ongoing in Wodonga and expecting over 1000 camping enthusiasts. After a two-year hiatus, this year’s event is the expo’s tent anniversary on the Border.
The expo, which began yesterday, aims to show all the latest in the caravan and camping lifestyle, according to a report.
Each year $5000 is donated to a not-for-profit organization as part of what is called the president’s charity donation.
Caravan Industry Victoria Chief Executive Officer Robert Lucas said the donation is meant to thank the community for its continued support.
Caravan Industry Victoria is both pleased and delighted headspace accepted our donation,” he said. “It’s a small amount that we know goes a long way in supporting their programs.”
Community awareness and engagement worker for headspace Trinity Byatt said the money would be put back into the community.
‘We appreciate that you have taken the time to recognize the hard work,” she said.
