Fire Fight Australia was a big hit

By late Sunday, more than that A$9.5 million was raised. “Donations are coming in every hour,” explains Geoff Jones, CEO of TEG, parent of TEG Dainty and TEG Live. The final amount raised will “definitely be over A$10 million.”on Monday, Jones paid thanks to the 1,500 suppliers and volunteers, staff, crew and, of course, performers on the day. “It exceeded expectations,” he recounts.

In the days and weeks ahead, a package of the concert will be beamed via international carriers. “We’re working on the mechanics on that,” says Jones. Those international broadcasts are expected to run until mid-May, explains Paul Dainty, president of TEG Dainty. Organizers “intend to keep accepting donations until then, it will take some time to provide final totals,” the veteran concert promoter explains. “We have engaged Deloitte to review our accounting and provide a post event report detailing revenues, expenses and confirmation of the final donations to the various charities.
