Thank you to the Pharaoh’s Secret Angels team and everyone who took part in their netball tournament to raise money for our oncology department of the weekend. What a wonderful result!

WHAT. A. DAY.

A big thank you to everyone of the 15 clubs that attended today’s 3rd Annual Liza Pharaoh Junior Netball Tournament!

We can now officially announce that $13,215.15 was raised for the West Gippsland Healthcare Group Oncology Ward - which equally we can announce this year was the BIGGEST and BEST tournament we have run so far!!

We are absolutely thrilled with this result - this is a true reflection of the amazing community spirit that is fostered by the netball teams from all of these clubs.

We know that Liza is looking down on all of us with a big smile, and we are so proud to be honouring her netball legacy this way each year.

We’ve got a bunch of photos that will be uploaded later tonight, and don’t forget to take a look at our live video earlier this afternoon with all the raffle prize winners being announced - and if you’re one of the winners, standby for contact from the charity - we’ve got to put our legs up for the evening after such a big day and will be in touch asap!!

Last but not least - a very very big thank you again to all of our amazing sponsors, especially to our major sponsor 3 years running the Warragul Club Downtowner!

We caught up with valued fundraising partner Lions Club of Warragul today, presenting a Certificate of Appreciation for the club's dedicated support. Members Russell, John and Ian, pictured with WGHG Fundraising Support Officer Melissa Patterson, discussed upcoming events and fundraising needs for 2026.

The club runs many community events and services throughout the year with all funds raised going back into the community. Last year, the club donated $68,659 to WGHG to buy 10 surgical beds, an infant blood sampling machine, and a nitrous oxide machine for our Emergency Department.

Catch club members this weekend at the Bunnings sausage sizzle stand from 8am-4pm on Saturday, and the Book Fair at Darnum Community Hall, 8am-4pm Saturday and 9am-3pm Sunday. Thank you to everyone for supporting the Lions Club and, in turn, supporting healthcare services for our community.
