The Trudy Crowley Foundation has further cemented their legacy for cancer support and care in the Mackay community, by announcing Levi Crowley as a newly appointed director at the recent Touch of Teal Soiree.
Founded in 2018 by Jacquie and Charles Camilleri, the Trudy Crowley Foundation was named in honour of local Mackay Mum Trudy Crowley, who was diagnosed in 2016 with ovarian cancer.
When Trudy passed in 2018, the Foundation had just commenced – with Trudy’s husband Damian as one of the directors since 2019.
Founder Jacquie Camilleri said that announcing Levi’s appointment to the Board at their biggest event of the year “gave us even more reason to celebrate”.
“Levi worked as a volunteer for the Foundation, before his appointment to the Board, and is a dedicated, committed and energetic young man – so much like his Mum,” Ms Camilleri said.
“Establishing the Trudy Crowley Community Cancer Support Centre was a massive milestone for us, and bringing Levi onto the Board is another step in ensuring Trudy’s legacy is felt in our Mackay community for many years to come.
“Trudy always said that she didn’t want anyone experiencing cancer to walk the journey alone, and we are committed to making sure her dream comes true now, and into the future.”
The 2024 Touch of Teal Soiree was attended by over 300 people, and raised $78,419.08 in net profit.
Like all donations and fundraising for the Foundation, the funds will be invested locally in the Mackay and Greater Whitsundays communities to benefit any person undergoing cancer treatment, and their families. As part of this commitment, no Trudy Crowley Foundation Board member receives remuneration – it is 100 per cent volunteer-based.
“All the money we raise and everything that is donated to us goes to supporting local people who are going through cancer. Thanks to our community and, of course, our gorgeous Trudes – no one in Mackay needs to go through cancer alone.”
