✨ $34,000 RAISED FOR CANCER RESEARCH! ✨
What an incredible result! 💖 Macleay Valley, you're amazing!
Thanks to the generosity of our incredible sponsors, supporters, volunteers and the wider community, the Kempsey Cancerians' Wild Wild West event raised $34,000 for cancer research.
This achievement would not have been possible without the support of so many people. Every ticket purchased, raffle ticket sold, auction bid placed and donation made has contributed to a cause that touches the lives of countless Australian families.
Funds raised will support the work of the Australian Cancer Research Foundation (ACRF). Through projects funded by ACRF, researchers are working towards better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer, bringing hope to those affected by the disease today and for future generations.
