Team Kill Cancer (TKC) is hosting its first twilight family day event raising funds for people with cancer and their families.
he event at Yarrambat Golf Course on 21 February will include live music from three performers, food trucks, kids entertainment and free Harley motorbike rides.
Mark O’Shea is one of the four TKC founders, and said he is excited to share the charity with the next generation.
“Our current members can bring their families along and get to know us and and what we’re all about and raise funds, it’s good awareness,” Mr O’Shea said.
The charity has been giving money to locals with cancer for 12 years, providing funding to meet their individual needs from essentials to dream holidays.
“There are families that can’t work while supporting their partner or their children with cancer,” Mr O’Shea said.
“Sometimes it’s not just a three month battle, it can be two years, so if we can help with rental support for 6-12 months… it really helps.
“There’s no cost in administration so if a hundred dollars comes in, a hundred dollars comes out.”
Anyone can become a member of Team Kill Cancer for $25 and nominate up to three people with cancer for the charity to help.
Mr O’Shea said another great way to support the charity is to attend fundraising events throughout the year.
Golf lovers can also participate in the 10th annual golf classic and a barbeque lunch from noon, the team cost to enter is $660.
Tickets to the twilight event from 4pm are $25 for adults and $10 for under 16s, kids under 3 are free.
Every ticket sold goes directly toward helping local people impacted by cancer.
