The foundation focuses on rural, regional and remote Australia and more specifically on education, environment, capacity building and Alzheimer's research. The concert aims to provide locals with an opportunity to enjoy a night off from the fires and drought conditions.
Sara and Greg have first-hand knowledge of the hardship suffered by regional communities, having been raised on their family farm in the Mallee district of Victoria. Greg, along with his brothers, is still a working farmer while Sara is well known for her award-winning songs about the challenges faced by farming and rural communities.

Many of Sara and Greg's songs are astute commentaries on the devastation that fires, floods and droughts can bring to working families.
Sara said of the concerts, "It's rare that many hard-working people get an opportunity to simply get out and be distracted from their day-to-day routine that lately has seen them battling bushfires and praying for rain.
"We promise to sing as many fun and uplifting songs as we can."
This is a free event for the whole family to enjoy. It's first come first served and seating will be available.
A barbecue starts at 6:30pm with a gold coin donation to support Tenterfield Rotary. The show starts 7:30pm.
