dollars and that was for the Sharkak Foundation that help
out mental health. So why did you guys decide homeless
this time?

what to do, but they this time they really wanted
to will raise the money and then we're going to
go out as a group, all the drifters and everyone
that's helped out to make the day happen, and we're
going to head around to quite a few of the
homeless people or the you know, the hot spots and
stuff like that and give out some care packages, blankets, pillows,
all that sort of stuff. So hopefully we can get
an opportunity to even just to chat to the people

(01:33):
and see if I have two seconds.

Helps mate, It's pretty cool. Grant and Nellie hire out
the track and then you guys all come together as
a community to put a show on and put this on.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yeah, it's good. You know, forty drifters out there, they'll
go through probably one thousand dollars in materials between full
and ties for the day. Plus their mechanical maintenance and
all that sort of stuff. So really appreciate all the
guys that are coming out and girls that are coming
out to be a part of it. Yeah, it's good
to give back the community when we can.
