Tweed Border Hockey Association Fund Raiser

The Tweed Border Hockey Association scored a massive goal in its first charity dinner by raising more than $20,000

Held to collect cash for junior hockey and the Oncology Children's Foundation, the dinner surpassed all expectations.

Association president Richard Philip said the Cudgen Leagues Club event went off very well.

"Everyone had a ball and everyone was raving", Mr Philip said. "The way the night went off, we're very proud".

Tweed Junior Hockey and the OCF will now have more than $10,000 each to spend through raffles, sponsorship and an auction on the night.

Guest speakers were champion swimmer Susie O'Neal, one of Australia's greatest female hockey players Sharon Buchanan, and Nicholas Latter, a cancer survivor and nephew of well known Tweed doctor Ian Kettle.
