Kezie Apps, Captain of the NRLW's West Tigers and Ambassador, Dairy NSW has stepped up to support the 'Socks for Farmers' fundraising campaign. Known for her strength on the field and passion for the dairy industry off it, Kezie says the campaign is close to her heart. 'I'm delighted to support the "Socks for Farmers" campaign as our dairy farmers continue their challenging journey of flood recovery. Farmers are vital to our communities, and this is a fun way to give back and show support,' she shared. By promoting the 'Holly the Holstein' socks, Kezie is helping raise both funds, awareness and support for the flood-affected dairy farming families on the NSW Mid North Coast.
I published the children's picture book, 'Holly the Holstein' in 2021 after dairy farmers on the NSW Mid North Coast were devastated by the '1 in 100 year' flood in March that year. Book sales resulted in $18,000 being donated to the Mid Coast Dairy Advancement Group (MCDAG), to support the recovery effort.
The May 2025 '1 in 500 year' flood has wreaked even greater damage and loss for our dairy farmers, so 'Holly' is making a comeback...on socks! All the profit from the sale of these socks will once again be donated to MCDAG to help our farmers recover and rebuild. So we really need your help and support in spreading the news of this year's effort and purchasing some 'Holly' socks.
Thank you,
