Villa & Hut on Wheels Loves to Run Melbourne
Fed Square – Botanical Gardens – MCG – Rod Laver Arena – Do You Love to RUNMELBOURNE?
On Sunday, July 17 over 22,000 runners participated in one of the most stunning runs in Australia. Villa & Hut Kafe on Wheels was proud to sponsor and support such an amazing event, which has raised nearly $1.4 million dollars for charities in Melbourne. Villa & Hut homewares donated 12 $500 gift vouchers to the highest fundraisers for the 3 months leading up to the main event, which were presented on the main stage in Federation Square, including to a very happy Glenn Archer, the North Melbourne football legend.
Our Villa & Hut Kafe on Wheels also took main stage, sitting out on the pavement of Swanston Street, with the majestic Flinders Street Station as one backdrop, and the amazing architecture of Federation Square as the other.
Coffee & Chai was served nice & hot from 5.30am onwards, with the queue at times stretching further than we could see! Runners were fuelling up on short blacks, supporters were sipping hot chocolates, weak soy skinny mocha decaf’s, extra hot Shanghai Chai’s and double shot 3/4 lattes. A record number of coffees were poured, and a record crowd helped donate a record amount to charity.
A good day was had by all. Thank you to everyone involved!
