Shirley Shuttle has received $4,000 following Canton Beach Bowlers’ Annual Pink Day, held on May 8.
The day remembers loved ones lost to cancer and those local community members who need transport to potentially life-saving appointments.
Although rain halted the competition earlier than planned, raffle prizes were awarded and the cake auction featured as the main entertainment with extremely generous bids.
Event Host David Gooch presented Shirley Shuttle Founder Barb Galvin with the cheque and Max Purcell handed over $500 in cash from the Canton Men’s Bowlers.
“This is the highest amount raised via Pink Day that honours your work in the community and your diligent efforts to improve the world around us,” Gooch said.
Galvin said the cost to replace each of Shirley Shuttle vehicle at 100,000km every three years is about $18,000.
“Maintenance costs over that period amount to just over $34,000,” she said.
“This wonderful donation will be dedicated to maintenance costs of our five vehicles.”
Galvin said she was overwhelmed with the continued kindness and generosity of Canton Beach Bowlers to allow Shirley Shuttle to continue to provide its ‘one of a kind’ service to transport-challenged cancer outpatients within the Central Coast region.
