In 2018, Woolworths' Chanelle Callaghan gave up her locks for the cause, and fellow staff manned the barbecue and supplied baked goods to sell. Vicki is a staff member of the local store.
The Smiths met with Woolworths' Alastair Hulley and Courtney Palmer on Friday and said they were grateful to staff for supporting the event each year.
"Patrina Marshall from Woolworths is the powerhouse behind the fundraiser and she has had a major role in assisting in organising it since it first started back in July 2016," Vicki said.
"We greatly appreciate all the business houses and generous individuals that donated prizes for the raffle and helped us on the day.
"It's just amazing."
