A cheque for $6000 – the proceeds of the Murray River Police and Community Charity Bowls Day on September 24 at the Howlong Golf and Bowls Resort – was presented to Albury Wodonga Cancer Trust Media Officer Justine Rofe.
Corowa Police Sergeant Stephen Marshall and former Detective Chief Inspector Brad Blanchard from the Howlong Spiders Bowls Club presented the cheque last week.
The Albury Wodonga Regional Cancer Centre Trust Fund was thrilled to be the recipient of the funds raised on the day according to Albury Wodonga Cancer Trust Media Officer Justine Rofe.
“It is the strength in our community that motivates us forward and we are grateful to all who were involved in the day,” she told The Free Press.
“From the players to the sponsors, and organisers, everyone contributed to making a difference in the lives of many in our community who have been impacted by a cancer diagnosis.”
Justine said the $6,000 donation will enable the Trust Fund to continue to support those in our community who are impacted by a cancer diagnosis.
“We allocate all donations into one of four pillars: The Wellness Centre, providing access to a range of cancer support services to help people with cancer and their families and/or carers; Research, providing more local people access to clinical trials to help improve their treatment outcomes; Education, enabling local staff to upskill and have access to specialist training opportunities; Equipment, to purchase equipment needed to improve cancer treatment and outcomes.”
Sgt. Marshall again expressed his thanks to everyone who contributed towards the “amazing amount of $6,000”.
“It just shows how people regard the Albury Wodonga Cancer Trust and want to do their bit regarding cancer research,” he said.
