Cooroy goes pink to raise funds

The Pink Up Cooroy breakfast hosted by the Cooroy Chamber of Commerce at the Saw and Mill on Friday 28 October was a huge success, raising much needed funds for the McGrath Foundation.

Pink Up Cooroy champion Carol Christensen said they raised around $5000 and still have money to be counted from the schnitzel promotion.

“The morning was a success with our very entertaining auctioneer, who got $70 for a loaf of pink bread,” Carol said. 

“We really want to thank all of the generous businesses that donated prizes for the event and the Cooroy community for getting behind Pink Up Cooroy.

“I can see this event growing next year to raise more funds for McGrath Foundation.”
