FREO’S first long table charity dinner has been a roaring success, raising more than $20,000 for St Pat’s Community Support Centre.

The long table was organised by the National Hotel, Fremantle BID and Fremantle council, and featured a three-course meal, entertainment and an auction.

St Pat’s Deputy CEO Michael Piu said he was thrilled at the community venture.

“When Karl approached us, we were quite blown away. To see Fremantle businesses coming together to support the disadvantaged at Christmas really does exemplify that true Freo spirit.”
