“Mask Events is all about creating connections with each other through shared experiences. Reef Check Australia does the same, with nature as their medium. For us, supporting a local group who supports our coastal home is a great opportunity to share the love,” Mask Events CEO Domenic Fusca said.

Sonic Artistry Entertainment Director Brett Gadenne said it was great they could work together.
