Tickled pink by support

On behalf of the McGrath Foundation, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Gympie community for their incredible support and fundraising efforts through Pinking Up Gympie.

In 2024, Pink Up Your Town was an opportunity for communities to unite in pink, showing solidarity with those experiencing breast cancer.

I am proud to say that we have successfully reached our first mission of funding over 250 nurses to support those impacted by breast cancer.

This would not be possible without the fundraising support of generous Australian communities like Pink Up Gympie.

This means that as of January 2025, we are taking our care to all cancers.

We are so appreciative of the support of our Pink Up Your Town communities like yours who have helped make this happen.

Thanks to your valuable support, we are helping provide expert care and support for families across Australia going through cancer, for free.

Once again, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for the generosity of the Gympie community during Pink Up Your Town.

We are truly grateful for the support.

– Tracy Bevan
