Lawyers Fundraising for Children’s Cancer in Pub2Pub

O’Brien Connors & Kennett Lawyers (OCK Lawyers) are raising money for the Children’s Leukaemia & Cancer Research Foundation (Inc.) through the Pub2Pub Charity Fun Run & Festival in Sydney — which takes place on Sunday 27 August. Sponsor them.

Paige Day of O’Brien Connors & Kennett Lawyers explains why they are raising money for CLCRF this year.

“We chose to support the CLCRF because every child deserves a childhood full of happiness and laughter,” said Paige.

“The CLCRF plays an integral part in the treatment of children with cancer and we hope that our donation will assist their research better and provide a cure! If we can encourage at least one person to donate we know that this will make a huge difference.”

There are three course options catering to serious runners through to families: 13km, 6km and 3km. This is Sydney’s most scenic fun run, taking in many of the spectacularly beautiful Northern Beaches. A Family Festival is held at the Newport Beach finish line with live music, a licensed bar area, international food options and plenty of fun rides and games for the kids.

If you would like to register to run and be sponsored to raise vital funds for cancer research for the CLCRF, just go to www.clcrfgiving.org and start a fundraising page. For those who would prefer to give to the CLCRF rather than run, then you can sponsor OCK Lawyers.

Kununurra cakes lead to cash for the foundation

There was no shortage of cupcakes in Kununurra when Taylor, Jack and Amira decided to turn their home into a patisserie to support CLCRF. They wanted to make and sell as many cupcakes as possible to raise funds to help other kids.

They cooked up a storm, making more than 750 cupcakes. Boxes were piled high across the dining table and a long production line commenced to pipe delicious icing and decorative delights to top off the yummy cakes.

Their truly amazing efforts raised $2,000. With their cupcakes’ popularity, could this be a future career path for these young chefs?

Thank you to Taylor, Jack and Amira, and mum, Cherise, for sharing this story and photos.

Blazing paddles on the Murray River

By Greg Robertson – President, Mo55sCC Inc

It was a canoeist’s dream day for a great cause when 26 paddlers took to the Murray River on a beautiful autumn day on Monday 24 April.

The annual fundraiser paddle event for ‘Mandurah over 55’s Canoe Club’ (or Mo55sCC) brought together members and friends taking on their choice of several paddle options and donating funds to support CLCRF.

Based at Murray Bend on the Murray River, near Ravenswood, various groups of paddlers tackled different courses across the day. Some set out early to paddle upstream to Pinjarra and back (30kms), some did one-way downstream from Pinjarra (15kms), and other canoeists took shorter options both up and downstream.

But let’s not forget the many others who stayed off the water, but gave their support.

Paddlers and supporters all contributed to the ‘kitty’ and enjoyed socialising around the BBQ with guest of honour, CLCRF’s Kim Williamson.

Kim gave the crowd an overview of the Foundation’s work, and thanked the paddlers for their donations and ongoing support. Coupled with members’ associated craft and book club fundraisings the total funds raised this year came to $1,733. A great result from a generous few.

Club President, Greg Robertson explained the Mandurah over 55’s Canoe Club members’ event has been held for about 18 years.

“From little things, big things have grown. So, cumulatively, Mo55sCC and friends, like many other valued groups, are quietly achieving great support for the CLCRF,” Greg said.
“Mandurah’s keen kayakers are eager to paddle for CLCRF again next year.”

The CLCRF would like to sincerely thank the Mandurah Over 55’s Canoe Club for their support over many years.

 

Landsdale forum news

It has been seven years of fabulous support from Landsdale Forum News and their customers. What began in 2010 has in total amounted to $10,917 donated to the CLCRF to fund childhood cancer research.

As they sadly have to close their doors we at the CLCRF want to wish owner, Paul Slattery, all the best for his future endeavours as he has played a big part in what CLCRF has been able to achieve under the Lansdale Forum News banner.

A huge THANK YOU to Paul and Landsdale Forum News for their incredible support towards child cancer research over the years as a valued member of the Foundation.

Poseidon Primary Fundraising for Child Cancer Research

On March 16, Poseidon Primary School, a small school of 370 students based in Heathridge, raised $2,269.30 for Children’s Leukaemia & Cancer Research Foundation (Inc.) (CLCRF) through their annual ‘hair-raising’ fundraising event.

Aroha White, one of the students of the school, was diagnosed with leukaemia and the school teamed together to raise money for CLCRF. Aroha’s mother, Emma White, as well as six school staff members were sponsored to change their hair in different ways.

A brave and excited Emma had her hair coloured with hairspray, then it was shaved off completely in front of the school. The school’s principal, Peter Blackford, was brave enough to have his hair coloured and shaved by Emma and Aroha White.

Many of the students also coloured their hair with hairspray for the special event.

A coin challenge after the hair shaving took place on their basketball court where each class had their own line to place coins and notes. The winner of the longest line went to Mrs Isbister’s Pre-Primary / Year 1 class. Some of the parents generously put down $50 notes in the challenge, which greatly helped in the fundraising.

Eco Faeries were painting children’s faces and engaging students with other fun activities.

Overall, the event was very inspiring for students and staff, and a fantastic amount was raised for CLCRF. Thank you Poseidon Primary School for your generosity and efforts towards raising money for child cancer research!

2016 Wellard Star of the West Campdraft

The spectacle of a sport synonymous with outback Australia in suburban Perth is always a certainty to draw a crowd. The ninth annual Wellard ‘Star of the West’ Campdraft delivered for spectators and competitors all in the aid of raising funds for CLCRF.

The event drew together some of the State’s and country’s finest stockmen and women on horseback showcasing their skills from 25th to 27th November last year at the Boar Swamp Campdraft Club Grounds. With such a high calibre of riders, judges also travelled from interstate.

Campdrafting is a uniquely Australian sport dating back to the late 1800s and involves a horse and rider working cattle for the coveted title of the best stockhorse and rider. Points are awarded to the horse and rider for cut out, horse work and course completion from a possible 100 points.

A good campdrafter is not just a fine horseman/woman, but has the skill to select a suitable beast from a mob that will run well in the arena.

Following the main event on the Saturday, the evening was about catching up with friends, meeting people and having fun in a safe and friendly environment. In addition to a delicious free BBQ dinner, live music and a licensed bar, the awards of the day’s events were presented.

Donations of $3,300 were received from this event.

We would like to give a special thank you to the McLarty family for their generous hospitality, the Boar Swamp Campdraft Club and Wellard Group for their continued support.
