Pink Ladies Raise Thousands

Karratha Cancer Support Group and Retravision displayed a Mini-Field of Women last weekend.

The visual display of 100 pink lady silhouettes was held at the front of Retravision, along with a Mother’s Day stall, including gifts donated by Retravision.

The pink lady silhouettes on display symbolised the 14,000 Australian women diagnosed with breast cancer and the 2,600 women who die from it each year.

The day was a huge success, raising $1500 for the Karratha Cancer Support Group and over $1600 for the Mini-Fields of Women.

Tins are still being collected, so this figure is sure to go up.

A Mini-Fields of Women event is for the community to gather together to show support and pay tribute to women and their families affected by breast cancer.

The Karratha Cancer Support Group would like to thank Retravision for their generosity and support.

Retravision also donated a 31” LCD TV, a Kitchen Mixer and a digital camera for the raffles, along with a beautiful bunch of flowers donated by Red Earth Flowers.
