A local community organisation began their fund and awareness raising campaign for women’s cancer and its research on Wednesday morning.
Bowen-based service Stella Life Care invited women of all ages to a Pink Ribbon Morning Tea in collaboration with the Cancer Council’s month dedicated to breast, ovarian, and cervical cancers.
The business decked out its Herbert Street premises in pink for the day with 20 local ladies purchasing tickets with those funds heading back to Cancer Council.
Stella Life Care provided the ladies with pink cupcakes cooked by Purple Rain Deserts, and set up a generous raffle of prizes, each of which was donated by Whitsunday businesses.
The raffle will be running throughout November, with Stella Life Care hosting stalls at places like Bowen IGA, Woolworths Plaza, and more. The prizes included items like a Whitsunday Jet Ski tour, Horseshoe Bay Café vouchers, a mystery box, and more, totalling roughly $1000.
Local Robyn Burrell, whose husband is a cancer survivor, said it was incredible to see so many people having conversations about getting checked for cancer.
“Cancer has touched a lot of family. To see women talking about it, it’s excellent and so important,” she said.

Some of the ladies who attended even styled up their old bras for decorations on the day, adding a bit of fun to what can be a serious occasion
