Once again, many thanks for the tickets forwarded for the use of our families and their children.
Donations such as this are very generous and enable our families to attend such events – something they would not ordinarily be able to do. Our families have enjoyed previous shows and I'm sure that they will enjoy this one too.
Many thanks.

I would like to convey my thanks and appreciation for the kind gesture of providing tickets to Learning Links for the Magic Mania shows.
Once again the families who attended the shows thoroughly enjoyed the performance and have asked that I pass their thanks to you.
It is wonderful to offer these families and their children the opportunity to view such performances and continued support of these children and families is much appreciated.
Kind regards
Donna Wilson
Director, Northern Suburbs Branch

Thank you for sending me 200 tickets to the [recent] Magic Mania Shows to be given to children with disabilities and their families. As requested I will organise for any feedback to be forwarded to you.
Carers and their families are often disadvantaged emotionally and financially, as well as in other areas, because of the lack of understanding of government, services and the community in general. It was wonderful for Carers NSW to be able to distribute these free tickets to an excellent family show to carers and their families.
I would also like to convey my appreciation, on behalf of Carers NSW, to all the sponsors who make these events possible.
Yours sincerely,
Arlene Tracey, Carer Support Officer
Carers New South Wales
Thank you most sincerely for your generous donation of Magic Mania tickets. Could you also pass on our thanks to the local businesses and individuals who made this opportunity available.
As a non-government, non-denominational welfare organisation Barnados is very reliant on community support to assist with donations of cash, food and gifts.
Barnados believes that all children have the right to a safe and loving family, to a life where they can dream of mystery and magic and not just of escaping the nightmare of abuse and neglect.
Our task involves offering hope and protection to these children, and it would obviously be impossible without the support of people like you.
We greatly appreciate your generosity and commitment to Barnados, without your help our task would be infinitely more difficult. On behalf of the children may I extend our thanks and best wishes.
Kind regards,
Glynis Sequeira, Marketing Director
Barnados
THANKYOU!
The show was absolutely fantastic. The group of children we sent to the show thoroughly enjoyed the woman having her head twirling round and round in the box, the acrobatics and the fire in the mouth routine.
The families receiving of the tickets have children 0–5 with intellectual and/or physical disabilities. Thankyou once again for the oppotunity of offering our families an entertainment that they rarely are able to access because of lack of entertainments suitable for their child and the child's special need and because of lack of respite services.
Huge applause to the talented entertainers! Please extend the Association's heartfelt thanks to all of the generous sponsors. Keep up the good work!

My children, Jack 4.5 years and Samantha 2.5 years were awestruck by Magic Mania. We would like to thank you for the opportunity to attend. Without the participation of the Sports Council for the Disabled and the sponsorship of businesses we would not have been able to attend.
It was a joy to see my son laughing hysterically at the "Leaping Loonies" and he hasn't stopped talking about the show.
Also, there are many more mothers who benefitted from attending the show. I passed on some of the tickets to the local women's centre – many of these women & children have been through trauma and are living in women's refuges. Without your support for the show, they would never have afforded to attend.
Yours sincerely,
Del C.
