ENGAGEMENT with the Friends of Busselton Cultural Precinct's piano campaign has benefitted local businesses through recognition of their support for culture and placing them front and centre for opportunities flowing from the venue.

"Saltwater Busselton patrons will enjoy off-site dining as part of conference programs and be looking for alternative dining and licensed premises during their stays, as well as before or after performances," said Lisa Massey, President of Friends of BCP.
"Owners of The Goose, Qi and Cheah Eng recognise that their business will benefit from this.
"Doral is one of our valued corporate sponsors of the piano campaign and we are proud to recognise this company's contribution to enriching our culture.
"We are grateful for these donations which have been important in securing this piano."

The campaign still needs to attract some additional donations from businesses and individuals to complete the piano purchase.
All donations are tax deductible when made through the Australian Cultural Fund platform and all size donations are welcome.

To donate, go to artists.australianculturalfund.org.au/s/projects and search for 'Seven feet' or email [email protected].

The BussTopia Ball is also supporting the piano campaign, coming up soon on October 25.
Individuals are encouraged to support the campaign by embracing some magic with a ticket to the ball.

"The Friends of BCP will be selling raffle tickets at the ball and earlier through the day in the Busselton Cultural Precinct.
"Raffle prizes include a two night stay at Hilton Garden Inn, tickets to a performance at Saltwater, beautiful stoneware from Happs Pottery, and an oil painting by Gerald Ashcroft and one of Carol Mulhearne's quirky animal sculptures from their currently showing exhibitions in the Old Courthouse Complex."
