WARBURTON Senior Citizens Club members will be putting out the pink balloons on Monday, 16 March to flag the way to a wonderful afternoon fund-raiser.
The club is holding a cancer awareness day and lunch to raise money for the Yarra Valley Ladies In Pink cancer support group.
WSC president Barbara Mutsaers is a breast cancer survivor and said she was well aware of the great job the ‘ladies’ did for women and their families dealing with cancer.
Judith McGrath from Ladies In Pink will be guest speaker, there will be lots of raffles, a delicious lunch and a display of lingerie and swimwear designed for women who have had a mastectomy.
Barbara said they had been delighted with the generosity of businesses and individuals who had donated lots of items for the raffles and door prizes, but would welcome any donations to help raise maximum funds for the cause.
Most of all, the club wants the day to be great fun for everyone, men and women, who come along, to raise the profile of the magnificent Ladies In Pink, and to raise awareness of breast cancer.
“The lunch is $10, but we want people to also come along with lots of spare dollars for the raffles, so we can make it a very successful fund-raiser.”
Bookings are essential for catering. Phone Barbara on 5966 9137 to book, or to make a donation.
