About The Tansey Wishing Well
- Kaye Tansey, and her niece Autumn have been diagnosed with cancer in the past few years
- Together they are exploring alternative therapy alongside their primary treatment
- They are supporting each other in their journey towards positive health

Their Goal
- To attend The Gawler Foundation's Life and Living 10 day Cancer Healing Retreat together (AFL legend Jim Stynes has attended it!)
- The retreat teaches to develop and sustain a positive state of mind, use a healthy diet and nutrition for healing, overcome obstacles to peace of mind, fully activate your potential for inner healing
- They are currently raising funds to afford to go, and are well on their way with asking for initial donations from friends and family

The intention of the night
- To initially raise the rest of the funds for Autumn to go, and then for Kaye to attend with her, with further proceeds to afford future support services with The Gawler Foundation

How the funds will be raised
- Small door entry fee 
- A raffle with donated items as prizes
- A silent auction for the donated youth photography prints
- Selling food and drinks, including sausage sizzle 

The target audience 
- We aim to get families on board. This will be done by creating a children friendly space. 
- Anyone who believes in The Gawler Foundation, as all money raised will go to the Tansey's affording their services.
- Photography collectors will play a key role in generating a large amount of funds through print purchasing. 
- Teens and young adults who are interested in pursuing film and photography, to see fellow work, and network with similar minded people.
