SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT
SIXT BALLARAT - A message from Andrew Overall, Owner
Nearly 27 years ago my wife and I used the services of CAFS for adoption. We were lucky enough to be offered Nicole, and with the help of CAFS, we were able to fulfill our family, with the arrival of Nicole, aged 3 months.
Without the likes of CAFS services, this would not have been possible. We will ever be grateful for the wonderful opportunity we were given all those years ago. Knowing that the proceeds of the Ballarat Carols go back to the likes of CAFS, is something my family are proud to be a part of, whilst helping the wider Ballarat community.
WE THANK ALL OUR GENEROUS
