Super cake

Other half and I spent the day first aiding at the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal - a huge event in the city with lots of different activities for all ages. This incredible cake was on display in one of the halls - it's being auctioned to raise funds for the hospital. The tally at 9pm was $11,392,529.80 - and there are still a few hours to go!

Is it a raffle? If it's an auction doesn't that mean one person is paying for it. Is that seriously 11 million dollars?! It's very impressive!

@bella_ss Yep, it definitely said auction. Given the size of the cake, it's probably worth $11M alone :) I guess a big company will probably buy it for a staff function or something - or will buy it and donate it to the hospital. It finally sold for AU$1740 according to the website.

Final tally was AU$17,109,063.22 (That's just over US$13M)

[Sheralee S]

@alia_801 Oh, I see, that's what was raised in total. What a fantastic effort!

[Sue Wilde]
