Pink day celebrates survivors

Lisa Joseph, Jess Fleming, Rosanne Chisholm and Cindy Lawson came second in the golf competition.

Ladies from the Noosa Golf Cub came together on 21 October to help raise funds for Breast Cancer Research by playing in their Pink Ball Breast Cancer Golf Day. Close to $8,000 was raised on the day due to the generosity of local businesses and people through sponsorship, cash donations and prizes for the various raffles and silent auction. Thanks go to major sponsor Bridgestone, Diana’s Shoes and the Tewantin RSL and to the major monetary contributors who wished to remain anonymous, Ladies president Alice Cumming said.

“The ladies got into the spirit of the day by dressing in pink and while Breast Cancer is a cancer that touches many of us, the spirit on the day was to also celebrate the survivors and the lives of people we’ve lost, as well to show our support for those currently battling this illness,” she said.
