Fundraising Success

With 19 raffle prizes, 1 auction item, and generous support from attendees and sponsors, we’ve raised over $8,000, with some sponsor contributions still to come in.

Special thanks to Linley Watson from the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) and her husband Mike, who joined us on the day, helped with prize setup and ticket sales, and shared an insightful talk on prostate cancer awareness. Linley also sourced some Dick Johnson Racing gear including a winter jacket that fetched $300 at auction, thanks to Leigh Murphy’s smooth auctioneering skills.

Thank You!
