🎀 GO PINK DAY – 10th June 🎀

Akooramak is going pink to support breast cancer awareness and fundraising 💕

We’re going all out this year — with pink hair, pink outfits, and plenty of fun, plus you’ll spot our community cars around town from the start of June all decked out in pink! 💗🚗

Our team, the Akooramak Pink Warriors, is on a mission to raise $500, and every single dollar counts – even $1 can make a difference!

We invite everyone to get involved, wear pink, and help us support such an important cause. Together, we can make an impact 💗

I've made a pledge to GO PINK and WEAR IT, SHAVE IT or COLOUR IT this June to raise funds in support of world-class breast cancer research. Please help me reach my goal and donate today!

We would like to thank Catherine, Kristina and their families for the beautiful plaque donated in honour of the late Jan Hegarty.

Jan had a true passion for gardening and spent many hours lovingly caring for our garden, which she kept looking beautiful.

We are honoured to display this special plaque in the garden she loved, in a place that reflects her care and dedication 🌿

We would also like to thank Jim Kelly for playing the beautiful music, the RSL Sub-Branch members and our Board members and Henry Hart for taking the time to come in and present this wonderful gift.
