The bushfires in Australia have been devastating and Cincinnati resident and Australia native, Miranda McGee, has organized the “Rescue the Down Under” event which happens this Sunday, January 26 at the Queen City Radio bar.

The event begins at 2 and many local organizations including the Bengals, FC Cincinnati, the Reds, Cincinnati Zoo, and the Aronoff Center have donated items to be included in a silent auction.  The money raised from the auction and through bar and food sales will go to the Australian Red Cross and the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.)

If you can’t attend, you can make a GoFundMe donation here.
