Herbert River RSL Goes Pink

With a united front from the board, staff, and club patrons, the RSL rallied together to raise vital funds for the National Breast Cancer Foundation through a month-long series of raffles and events. Setting an ambitious goal of $5,000, the club not only met it but soared past it, raising a total of $8,042.

The campaign wrapped up with a special Sunday barbecue fundraiser that saw the function room buzzing with generous supporters and fantastic prizes. Local businesses got behind the cause, with Beauty on Lannercost contributing vouchers courtesy of Bec Weston, and Bissons Electrical donating an array of meat trays sourced from Blanco's and Flower arrangements from Mandy’s Beauty in the Bush. The afternoon barbecue was also proudly sponsored by Bissons Electrical, whose ongoing support helped make the event such a great success.

The Herbert River RSL extends heartfelt thanks to everyone who bought raffle tickets, wore pink, and stood united. The incredible funds raised will go directly toward supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation in its mission to fund life-saving research and support Australians affected by breast cancer.

The fundraising spirit continues as the Herbert River RSL launches its next campaign, It’s a Bloke Thing, in support of the National Prostate Cancer Foundation. Running through August and into Father’s Day, the campaign will culminate in a free sausage sizzle on Sunday, 7 September.

They’re calling on our community once again to get behind a cause that matters, standing together and making it count.
