The Tullamore Community came together on Saturday 6th July to host a “Cosy Casserole Pink Night”, in support of the McGrath Foundation and their local McGrath Breast Care Nurse Di Green. The fun-filled evening held at the Tullamore Bowling Club featured hearty homemade casseroles, raffles, a 100 club draw, an auction and musical entertainment.
A staggering $3,323.60 was raised on the night, with McGrath Breast Care Nurse Di Green saying, “I enjoyed the night, as they (Tullamore) are always such a welcoming community, and so supportive of the work I do for all women and men in the area who are diagnosed with breast cancer.
“Without community support the McGrath Foundation wouldn’t be able to provide nurses across Australia and it is communities like Tullamore who always have such big hearts and once again came together to help ensure their community has the support of a McGrath Breast Care Nurse.”
Event organiser, Leanne Porter would like to thank the team of community members who came together with all their support, those who donated raffle and auction items, Bernadette Binnie the auctioneer on the night, Lindner Bulk Haulage Trundle for their support of the event and Alana Potter who provided the entertainment for the evening. Winners on the night for the 100 club were Rowan Egan, Robert Porter and Leanne Porter.
