Festival raises $11k
The annual Pauls Road Live music festival raised more than $11,000 for Gabby s Starlit Hope Charity. The charity was set up by Gabby Devine in early 2014, after she was diagnosed with Ewing s sarcoma the previous year. Devine died in 2015 aged 13, but the charity has continued in her honour. Three Whanganui and New Plymouth families with children who have cancer have been gifted $3770 each. The charity thanked festival organisers Fred Loveridge and Kerry O Sullivan, the Butlers for hosting, all the local bands that performed and everyone who attended and supported the event.
