Support for music campaign
ELIXIR Music House founder Sky Rixon says there’s hope on the horizon, after a wave of messages and inquiries poured in following the Cairns Local News article – despite no new donations yet.
More members of the broader community are being informed about Elixir Music House’s fundraising campaign to save the venue and, although the fundraiser remains at over $22,000, Ms Rixon said the outreach was key to their fundraising efforts.
“We put a few papers on our counter and it was amazing the amount of people, who are our patrons, who had no idea what we’re going through and what we’re doing,” Ms Rixon said.
“We haven’t had any new donations as of yet, but when we pointed out to people our posters with the QR codes I had people going back to the tables, talking about it, then others coming up and scanning the code.
“I had a business guy approach me from Simon George and Sons, give me his card and told me to email him because he’s across a heap of businesses in town that he knows would love to support us and make sure we’re still around.”
