Umina Beach Men’s Bowling Club has donated $5,000 to Gosford Hospital’s Cancer Unit to help purchase surgical equipment for local cancer patients.
The club presented the cheque to Central Coast Health’s Fundraising and Donations Manager, Jan Richens, on February 17.
The funds will be used to purchase important surgical equipment used in the Prostate and Urological cancer units at Gosford and Wyong hospitals.
Richens thanked club members for their ongoing support of Gosford and Wyong’s Hospital’s Prostate and Urological cancer patients.
She also advised that Umina Beach Men’s Bowling Club has raised over $60,000 over the years for the unit.
Club secretary Peter Springett said the funds were raised at the annual Umina Beach Men’s Bowling Club ‘Ron Pursehouse Prostate Cancer Charity Day’, which was set up and managed by club member Ian Jarratt.
“Congratulations and thanks to everyone, including all of our sponsors, for their involvement with this great initiative,” Springett said.
