About 600 people gathered at Riverlinks Eastbank on Sunday, October 25, with the venue glowing pink for GV Health’s annual fundraiser supporting women’s oncology services.
The final fundraising tally is yet to be confirmed, but GV Health has already declared this year’s event a success, surpassing the $185,000 raised last year.
The afternoon served up a three-course meal catered by Milkbar, an auction, raffle and plenty of entertainment, with Tegan Higginbotham returning as emcee and comedian Denise Scott bringing some laughs.
A panel of nurses and breast cancer patients also shared their experiences of local cancer care.
The event announced a $100,000 contribution towards stage two of a fully integrated cancer centre in Shepparton.
With the Shepparton Brewery team keeping drinks flowing, it was an afternoon of fun for an important cause.
