You are invited!
Monday 20th September 6.15 for a 6.30 start.
Come along to an evening of merriment as we raise funds for Fight Cancer Foundations Footy Colours Night Monday September 20th 6pm for a 6.30 start. This is the night we raise we raise funds that will directly impact the lives of those going through Cancer Treatments and the community.
An update on what’s been happening with FCF in this time of Covid:
Accommodation Centres have been running as normal throughout this horrid COVID period. There has been a tightening of access and hygiene protocols to ensure the safety of the guests as best we can. Even one of our guest speakers, Eric Wright – MD Fight Cancer Foundation, has been allowed to go in – on the upside though there has been no covid incidents at any of the sites. Let’s hope it stays that way!
FCF have just finished a $4 million extension at Albury. The timing of which was so exquisite – launching a public appeal in December 2019 – quickly followed by bushfires then Covid.
However thanks to public support and nights like this the funds flowed in and it’s all finished and paid for! Eric Wright is now sorting out some finer details of a new centre in Shepparton and then will be in a position to re-activate the project at North Melbourne. It’s full steam ahead! Our night will make a real difference and continue to show how we serve the community.
We have some fabulous items to auction off including:
1. Organic Infusion Facial from Endota Day Spa valued at $155
2. Yarra Yering Dry Red Wine No. 1 Vertical Pack valued at $375
3. Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin 700mL valued at $81.99
Be part of this annual event and also hear from the likes of Ian Robson CEO Rowing Australia amongst his many other tags and messages of support from Bill Brownless and few others.
Rotary has a long running history with FCF through its inception as Bone Marrow Donation Institute and BMDI Rotary House, so how about donning your colours and spending an hour with some fabulous people for a wonderful cause

All the money we raise through Footy Colours Day funds Fight Cancer Foundation's education support programs, which keep kids with cancer learning while they receive and recover from life-saving treatment.
These kids are absent from school for long periods of time as they go through cancer treatment and recovery. Many drop class levels when they return to school, become isolated from their friends and disengage from their education. Fight Cancer Foundation education programs fight to reduce the long-term impact of cancer and help kids with cancer get back to doing what they do best - being a kid!
