Pink Spring Picnic Raises Over $5,000 For Local Cancer Support

The 2025 Canowindra Pink Spring Picnic Fundraiser was held on Sunday, 19 Octo­ber at the magnificent Noojee Lea Home­stead, with more than 90 people gathering for a heartwarming day of food, music, and community connection, all in support of lo­cal families facing cancer.

Thanks to the generosity of attendees, over $5,000 was raised for the McGrath Foundation and Can Assist Orange, two or­ganisations offering vital care and support to those affected by cancer.

“It was a truly special day,” said organiser Emma Millward. “We’re so grateful for eve­ryone who came, donated, dressed in pink, and helped make a real difference.”

Guests praised the event’s setting and purpose. Cindy Walker shared, “What a beautiful afternoon. Thank you to all the work you have all put in to make this hap­pen. The McGrath nurses are such an im­portant part of the breast cancer journey.”

A big thank you to all of the raffle prize do­nors whose generosity made the day even more special. Special thanks also to the Curran Family, Kathryn Spice, Lusi Austin, The Shared Table, Sue Hodge Art, Emma Roots, and Megan Milton of Edellen Flow­ers for your support.
