Southern Highlands Evening CWA raises funds for Rare Cancers Australia

The branch presented a cheque from its June event to Rare Cancers Australia (RCA) CEO Christine Cockburn, during their August 3 meeting.

The parade, which was in collaboration with the Illawarra Machine Knitters, was held at The Oak Tree Retirement Village in Moss Vale.

The RCA aims to improve the quality of lives and health outcomes of people living with rare and less common cancers.

The SHE CWA will continue to support the charity with its annual Christmas gift wrapping fundraiser in the Springett's Arcade, where they wrap presents for a gold coin donation.
