Hundreds of dancers rocked and rolled in Pakenham to raise money for the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
The Rockn’ Suzies event, which featured for bands and a DJ at the Pakenham Hall, raised $7540.55 for the appeal.
In past years, organisers Sue Dobson, Marina Roberts and Robert Wright held fundraisers for the appeal in Berwick.
“We’ve held the Rockn Suzies Good Friday Appeal in Berwick since 2012,“ Ms Dobson said.
“After two years of Covid-19 we thought we should bring back the fun and energy back into everyone’s lives with a smaller event in Pakenham.
“It was a great day- I think we’ll stay in Pakenham from now on.“
Along with the almost 400 dancers, a number of vintage cars were also on display, as well as retro stalls.
A signed guitar was auctioned for $450 and the Easter Bunny also paid the children a visit.
“Everybody was happy to be out and about. It was nice to hold the event again,“ Ms Dobson said.
