GEORGE NEWS - YFC Options Care Centre hosted its 2026 fundraising banquet at Fancourt on Spring Day.

Its theme, 'The season has changed', was highlighted in the banquet hall with beautiful flowers and pink spring colours.

The theme continued through the programme with a theatrical performance, a new video and three people telling their stories of how Options had helped them. 

Wendy Cronje was the MC, Adele Kumm sang "Into the River" and Mark and Janelle Miller led the guests in giving and pledging.

"Options is thankful for all the investors and donors who made this possible," said the director, Laurie Edwall.
