The Country Fire Authority is asking the community to dig deep and donate for the Good Friday Appeal.
CFA brigades across Victoria have raised more than $37 million for the Royal Children’s Hospital since 1951.
The Stawell brigade has collected $878,614 since starting in 1971.
Last year the brigade, with help from local businesses, raised $54,052.

Brigade member Reg Smith, his wife Dianne and fellow member Noel Cray started fundraising for the appeal and have been involved for 53 years.
“We try and raise as much as we can for the hospital. We think it’s such a great cause getting to help the kids,” Mr Smith said.
“Two of our kids and one grandson attended the hospital, so it’s a cause close to our hearts.
“We also get so many people around Stawell wanting to help the cause because they have some connection to it.”
CFA brigades are also fundraising online via fundraise.goodfridayappeal.com.au/find-a-fundraiser.
Many other community groups raise money for the appeal.
