In a heartwarming display of community support and dedication, the ‘Shearing for Liz‘ Pink Day celebrated its milestone 10th anniversary by raising an astonishing $103,000 for the Breast Cancer Research Centre – WA. This  event not only contributes significantly to our cause but also marked a historic achievement this year, as the total funds raised over the past decade exceeded the remarkable milestone of $500,000.

One of the highlights of this special day was the captivating blade-shearing demonstration, and the event was made even more special by the generous contribution of Bernie Quade and his wife Gabrielle who for years have been a constant presence at the ‘Shearing for Liz’ Pink Day, providing delicious pizza for guests at their own cost.

A total of 53 auction items were up for grabs, each generously donated by individuals and businesses alike, including 20 ton of pellets donated by Barfeeds and the House family, and an electric pink tractor donated by Boekman Machinery. The largest auction item was a silo donated by Moylan Grain Silos, specially painted in tribute to the cause, which was purchased by Tegan and Avery Maitland.

The event was organised again by our incredibly generous supporters Quentin and Di Davies and their three daughters Felicity, Keisha and Jordy, and Tom and Lucy Reed, in memory of Tom and Lucy’s close friend Liz Roberts.

The ‘Shearing for Liz’ Pink Day has evolved into more than just a fundraising event; it has become a symbol of unity, hope, and the strength of community spirit. As we look back on the last decade, we are reminded that together, we can make a significant impact in the fight against breast cancer, one ‘Pink Day’ at a time.
