FASHION with flair meets fashion with heart on Wednesday 10 July when the Nambucca Valley Cancer Support Group invites the community to come together for their Annual Op Shop Fashion Parade and Fundraiser at the Macksville Ex-Services Club from 10:00am.
Guests will enjoy morning tea and a morning full of style and inspiration, as local cancer survivors take to the catwalk.
This year’s models, both men and women, have walked their own cancer journeys and are bravely stepping forward in support of others facing a battle with the insidious disease.
“Come along, be inspired, and make a difference, one outfit and one story at a time,” said support group president Irene Rowsell.
The fashion parade is now a staple on the Nambucca Valley events calendar and is truly a celebration of resilience, community, and giving back.
Every dollar raised stays in the Nambucca Valley to directly support local cancer patients and their families.
“With what we raise we will be able to purchase things like walking sticks, electric beds, and even cover pharmacy bills when needed,” said Irene.
“All the support we provide remains confidential, and is guided by compassion.”
Last year the success of the support group was formally recognised when Irene was awarded the Electorate of Oxley Local Achievement Award, which she humbly accepted on behalf of her fellow volunteers.
The event is growing in popularity each year, and bookings are essential for catering purposes.
To reserve your spot, please contact the Macksville Ex-Services Club on 02 6568 1344.
Entry is $10.
If you feel inspired to model (no experience needed), please contact Irene on 02 6568 9090.
