The Changemakers

29 Sep 2023

WHAT incredible philanthropists we have in our community!
We dined at Nu Nu Restaurant under a Strawberry Moon to talk about our Cancer Care Hub with a group of health-focussed individuals.
The outcome of the night was simply incredible. Generous donors gave more than $215,000 to support the campaign.
During the night, we heard from our CEO Gina Hogan, the CE of the Cairns and Hinterland Hospital and Health Service Leena Singh, and the Clinical Director of Cancer Care and Haematology Dr Lisa Capelle.
We also revisited the stories of the faces of our campaigns – Rex, Gemma and Sarah.
Thanks also to Tony George Entertainment and Mod Films & Photos for your awesome support on the night as well.
