At The Peter’s Project Foundation we are very pleased to continue to support cancer related needs at South West Healthcare and especially now, $12,000 toward the current fundraiser for the Breast Tumour Locator System.
It’s great to see community groups and individuals contributing to this vital equipment….together we all make a difference and achieve great results. 🙌
There’s no doubt about it. Our SWH Warrnambool Auxiliary sure knows how to run a slick event when it comes to fundraising. In just three hours on Friday it cleared $5,000 with the assistance of two other great groups of volunteers: Fools on Stools (pictured) provided the music for the 250+ guests gracing the lawns of Warrnambool’s Bayside Lodge and Rotary Central provided the BBQ. The bulk of the money was made from another great raffle this auxiliary is so known for – and it’s thanks to Langley’s Port Fairy Holiday Accommodation for its success. Langley’s generously donated the 1st prize of two nights accommodation worth $1,200.
The proceeds of this event are to be donated to our $120,000 Breast Tumour Locator System. As will be the proceeds of the April-30 morning screening of *The Devil Wears Prada 2*. To book your tickets please call auxiliary member Margot Johnson on 0455 029 125.
The Breast Tumour Locator System we’re after will help to precisely identify the location of tumours that cannot be felt by touch. This means less invasive surgery for our mastectomy and lumpectomy patients.
Latest gifts to this appeal include those from FM Maher & Associates via a $500 donation to the fundraising efforts of our 2026 Scrubbers & The Gasman Murray2Moyne Cycle Relay Team + $2,000 from the Warrnambool Uniting Church Adult Fellowship + $496 from an Anchor Point Village-organised raffle + $500 from Tim Rayner Audiology Pty Ltd via the amazing fundraising advocacy All Seasons Nursery’s Kim Sordello is doing for us. Then there’s the $12,000 donation from the ever-loyal Peter’s Project Foundation. Whenever we need support of a cancer-specific cause, Peter’s Project Foundation (PPF) does not hesitate to come to our aid. Additional to this $12,000 gift, over the past 12 months PPF has donated $65,306 towards the purchasing of two new probes for our prostate cancer detector + $5,000 for 161 bras for our Bra Fund (to help patients experiencing financial hardship stemming from their breast cancer diagnosis… each patient is gifted one of these compression bras to minimise the potential for fluid build-up, post-surgery) + its annual $11,000 donation to fund the renting of therapy/consulting rooms at the cancer centre for our SWH Cancer Services team. We are incredibly grateful for this support.
