Lip sync act to pay vet bill for SAFE

SAFE Bunbury have become a beneficiary of a colourful and fun challenge involving Bunnings Bunbury staff members. After lip-syncing their way to a $1000 prize to go towards a local charity of their choice, Bunnings employees Diane Clarke and Kayde Stanford sent the money to the animal fostering service. The pair dressed as Barbie and Ken for the video performance, which was submitted as part of a nationwide challenge. Representatives from Bunnings and SAFE were on hand for the presentation of a cheque, with the money set to be put towards vet bills for animals coming into care. “Bunnings are always very happy to help in the community,” Bunbury store operations manager Trish Edwards said. “The challenge was team members had to do a mime or a lip sync, and these two chose Barbie and Ken and they put this in and they managed to get the money back. “We were just doing the challenges to bring a good vibe to the teams, because everyone is in lockdown over east so they came up with some challenges for the teams to get involved in.” SAFE Bunbury branch co-ordinator Zillah Dyke said the organisation was extremely thankful for the support. “I am absolutely ecstatic and we are so grateful they chose to support SAFE Bunbury,” she said. “The funds will go towards the cost of vet care for the animals that come into our care, which is our biggest outlay, so this is a huge help. Our vet bills are astronomical and we are coming into kitten season. “We have already had two mum kittens come in and it is pretty chaotic, so this is such a great boost for us.”
