Yamba ladies play in Ovarian Cancer Research event

The Wednesday October 6 fundraiser for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation coincided with the final round of the Mike Macqueen Memorial Shootout and many of the scores reflected the day’s perfect playing conditions.

Our ladies dressed in combinations of teal and white in recognition of the work that is being done to support ladies dealing with this insidious disease, as well as research into its treatment and possible cure. Through raffle ticket sales and donations, $620 was raised.
