Pink Up Forster Tuncurry

13/10/2026

It's still early in the month, but we just had to share this with you all.

4th. We're 4th on the national Pink Up Your Town leaderboard. That's awesome for a community like ours, and with support from people like Paint with Shell, Reform Motion and Evermore Retirement Living who are all running Pink events, along with Great Lakes Pharmacy, Forster Tuncurry Rehabilitation Smart Coast Conveyancing Orbit Marketing Tanya Thompson MP who are all pinking up, we might just be able to stay there!

If you're pinking up, tag us in your posts so we can share your pinkness. Running an event? Reach out and ask how we can support you.

Just want to make a donation? You can donate directly to the McGrath Foundation using our donation link and have your contribution attributed to the Forster Tuncurry region and help show our community support for our local Cancer Care nurses.

Sunrise Pilates for a Purpose

Our FIRST ever outdoor Pilates event is here! 🌅💗

Join us for a beautiful morning of movement, community and connection, all while raising funds for the McGrath Foundation during Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

⏰ 6:30am

We’ll kick off the morning with a one-hour sunrise Pilates class overlooking Forster Main Beach, suitable for ALL levels — whether it’s your first class or you’ve been moving with us for years.

This morning isn’t about being the strongest or most experienced. It’s about moving together, having fun and supporting an incredible cause.

Go subtle or go ALL OUT — we want a sea of pink on the Green!

There’ll be plenty happening after class too:

And if you show up on the day wearing something from Made to Cover you will receive 15% off your next purchase. And for the month of October Jade will be donating a portion of all sales to the McGrath Foundation.

WHAT TO BRING:

‘Oh what a night
Late September at Thirty Three Degrees
Such a very special night was had

Fuelled by great food, fabulous cocktails, sensational weather and community spirit, the night was kicked off in perfect fashion by the gorgeous Hudson Rose 🎤💓

Thanks to Coasting Home, Picture This, Custom Framing, Clinink and Tuncurry Forster Jockey Club our raffles and auctions went off!!

To Forster Tuncurry Business Chamber, having you support and help deliver the event this year is a game changer. Can’t wait to see what October brings.
