The Hibiscus Events group has today revealed that a total of $110,000 was distributed last year to charitable organizations from the week long carnival.
HEGI Chairman Hirdesh Prasad says the committee is optimistic that they will raise more funds this year, with the focus on those affected by Cyclone Winston.
“This year after looking at the stats why don’t we choose road safety as one of our themes and you may have witnesses we are living to the theme, and the charity procedes as usual you know people will make the request to us, we will see all the requests that we have and certain percentage of funds will also go to TC Winston for rebuilding Fiji.”
A potion of last years proceeds from the event were also donated to the Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals.
