A club spokesperson said the support from members and visitors was overwhelming.
“Patrons got into the spirit of the event by dressing in their favourite pink outfits. Many purchased the pink sashes on offer to support the fundraiser,” the spokesperson said.
“The ladies certainly looked great, but it was the real men wearing pink that was most amazing.”
Proceeds from the regular Friday night raffle, which had enormous support from members and guests, sales of merchandise, individual donations, support from Brown Brothers Winery and the club’s board — the amount raised was slightly above the target of $2000.
“The club looks forward to growing this event next year in support for this wonderful organisation to assist with funding McGrath Breast Care nurses across Australia,” the spokesperson said.
