Students from Brisbane Water Secondary College Woy Woy Campus, with support from businesses on the Peninsula, raised $1,300 for the National Breast Cancer Foundation as Pink Ribbon Month (October) drew to a close.
Head teacher of Human Society and its Environment (HSIE) Robert Brown said a bake sale and raffle had united students, staff, and supportive local businesses in supporting the important cause.
“Local businesses played an instrumental role in our success, generously donating prizes that added excitement to our fundraising efforts,” he said.
“We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Daleys Kitchen, Avoca Beach Theatre, Tropicana Social Club, Ettalong Bowling Club, Ettalong Diggers, The Salty Salon, CryoPlus Umina, Umina Peak Physique, and Beach and Bay Vet.
“Their contributions not only boosted our raffle, but they also set a powerful example of how local partnerships can create positive change in our community.
“Our college is committed to fostering a culture of empathy and action, encouraging students to see the difference they can make when they come together for a greater cause.
“We hope this achievement will inspire others in our community to support the fight against breast cancer.
“By sharing our story, we aim to further raise awareness and remind readers that together, every contribution counts in building a future without breast cancer.”
