Cupcakes and sausages for McGrath Foundation
SADLY, breast cancer is something that touches so many people in the community.
In fact, statistics show that 58 people (men and women) are diagnosed with breast cancer every day and, tragically, nine people die from breast cancer on a daily basis.
The McGrath Foundation is now calling on public support to help raise funds for a much-needed breast care nurse.
A campaign has begun following the slogan ‘With your help, no-one misses out on care.’
With this in mind, the team at Brookes Timber and Hardware in Port Fairy is currently running a raffle in-store and will hold a special Pinktober fundraising day next Wednesday, October 23.
The day will give visitors the chance to purchase a hot sausage off the barbecue, or a tasty pink cupcake, with all proceeds donated to the McGrath Foundation.
The in-store raffle offers the chance to win some great prizes, including a portable gas-fired pizza oven with a 4.5kg swap ‘n go gas bottle and a Laura Ashley Alexa voice-controlled speaker.
More than 200 Home Hardware and Mitre10 stores across the state are combining their efforts this Pinktober, with an aim to raise $100,000.
