Big Barbie For A Good Cause

Coral Sea Marina’s second annual Big Aussie BBQ raised $4400 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) this year.

Over the month of September, the local marina has been gathering funds and raising awareness for research into the cancer which threatens the lives of one in five Australian men.

For their biggest fundraising effort of the month, the marina lawns transformed into a backyard barbie, where locals could grab a snag and a drink and listen to some live music in the name of a good cause.

Head of Marketing at Coral Sea Marina, Joscelyn O’Keefe said it’s been excellent to give “people an informal setting where they can start the conversation” about prostate cancer.

“Thank you to all the local businesses and community who came out to support us,” she said.

The Marina has now raised over $10,000 dollars for cancer research.

You can continue to donate to Coral Sea Marina until the end of September at their fundraising page here: https://www.bigaussiebarbie.com.au/.../CoralSeaMarina.../bab
