Tourists For Flood Effected Businesses North QLD

Donation protected
The North Queensland Floods have left both Townsville and Magnetic Island with a lot of damage to clean up, a lot of workers have been flying in to quickly get everyone back on their feet but the town's are facing a new problem from the after mass of the media coverage of the floods. Townsville and Magnetic Island were declared disaster zones and all tourisms came to a halt, 6 weeks have past since shops had to close their doors and most businesses are finally able to reopen again but the problem is that doors are being opened for no one to come in. The media have put little effort into advertising the region since the floods and businesses are struggling to keep up with the bills. I am putting a advertisement video together to be broadcasted on social media platforms to target tourists leading up to the Easter School Holidays, the video is to create awareness that Townsville and Magnetic Island are open for businesses. I'm working with a lot of businesses to make the video for free but the funding to broadcasted the video online is my only shortfall. I'm hopping to get together $2000 to put into the distribution of the ad, some businesses have put money towards the budget and its really great to see that but a lot of businesses can't as the last 12 months hasn't been good for tourism because of bad weather in school holidays. People are really banking on having a good Easter session and i want to help that in any way i can. I did a similar thing after Cyclone Debby hit tourisms hard a couple of years ago and we raised $1800 and the video was seen by more then 200k people online, it was a small difference that meant a lot to businesses and the people that rely working in them.

This ad will be made by the people for the people and none of the money will be used to pay anyone, everyone is working for free, 100% of the money will go to the online boost of the video. I'm aiming for the video to start on Facebook at the end of March. The more money that is raised, the bigger the video reach will be.  

Any money you could spare towards this Townsville and Magnetic Island ad would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your support.
