This Melbourne Party Crew Is Giving Back For A Good Cause

Throwing parties is no easy feat (trust me, we know), but doing it all for charity makes things even harder.

However,  Thick As Thieves  – a Melbourne based collective – have been throwing fundraising shin-digs for around 4 years now, and have just reached a massive milestone.

Working with charity organisation Fred Hollows Foundation, Thick As Thieves have raised an amazing total of $250,000 from events with their partners at Revolver, Rainbow Serpent Festival and Summer Series among others.

Proceeds from the door, a bar percentage, artist donations and personal donations from Thick As Thieves big dog Mike Toner have all made up this whopping amount; an amount that means 10,000 people will have their eyesight restored.

Speaking on the effort, Mike says “It’s only the start of the journey.”

“It’s a milestone as it is now 10,000 peoples eyesight restored but hopefully that just raises more awareness so we can continue to raise more in a quicker time period.  Given we are so lucky to be working in the industry we do, and making a living out of it, I feel it is an obligation to give back.  My amazing team are incredibly supportive and they do most of the work in getting these events together.”

Mike went on to commend the crowd that comes to their events, saying “people love the fact that they can come to an event like this and have a great time, but also knowing that every person who walks in the door has effectively restored the eyesight of one person.”
