A local marina is getting onboard for the Big Aussie Barbie this year, inviting locals to raise much-needed funds for Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA).
For the month of September, Coral Sea Marina will gather money and raise awareness for research into the cancer which threatens the lives of one in five Australian men.
The marina will be hosting their own iteration of the PCFA’s biggest event for the second year running, a Big Aussie Barbie on the marina lawns at sunset where locals can grab a burger and a drink and listen to some live music for a good cause.
Head of Marketing at Coral Sea Marina, Joscelyn O’Keefe said they were excited to be bringing the event, which raised $5000 for cancer research last year, back to the region.
“We want to make this an annual event each September, which is prostate cancer awareness month. It’s such an important cause; we all know people who have been affected by some form of cancer,” Ms O’Keefe said.
“And that’s the big thing: giving people an informal setting where they can start the conversation. It’s a way to get your mates together and maybe even inspire someone to go and get tested.
“Particularly for men who often don’t want to talk about health issues.”
Prizes have been donated for a raffle, as well as food, and a local support group for prostate cancer will be in attendance.
