NLS Annual Trivia Night - What an event!
|

The NLS Annual Trivia Night was held on Friday 27 June 2025 in the Banquet Hall at Newcastle City Hall. The venue was at capacity with over 300 attendees. We are delighted to share that over $20,000 was raised for Guide Dogs specifically for the Newcastle FCFCOA Court Dog Program. A big thank you to all who attended, for the generous raffle prizes offered, funds raised on auction items, and all those involved in making the night a huge success. We are thrilled with the amount raised.
