Manager Karen Marriner said they had set a target of $3000 and managed to raise $3682.
Karen took the plunge alongside co-worker Leanne Campbell, area manager Tim Owen and regional manager Steph Dean.
The calm before the storm, as Liquorland’s Leanne Campbell, Karen Marriner, Tim Owen and Steph Dean prepare to take part in the ice-bucket challenge.
“My toes are frozen,” Karen said.
“I want to thank everyone who donated this year.
“The Benalla people are so generous, and they like to win. So when the challenge is on we try and beat last year, and the community supports us so well.
“They’re just awesome.”
Karen said all the staff at Liquorland Benalla really enjoyed doing their bit for FightMND.
“Doing the ice-bucket challenge puts the word out there that this is something that affects local people,” she said.
