<p>So what originally was our Easter raffle, turned in to a Christmas raffle, due to all our events being cancelled.  First things first then, thank you to everybody for being so patient and waiting until now.  </p>



<p>We are thrilled to advise, that along with the supporter packs, this campaign raised over $2,100, which along with the other funds raised in November this year we will donate to Childhood Cancers Research.</p>



<p>The winners are listed below, and we have shared the link to show you the online draw which was held today at Daisy Hill with Leigh and Carrie Rose, our long time sponsor.  To watch and listen to the draw, click <a href="https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqCFGC0s3-XW3CfzpVqTnww9IYuq?e=OfhzLX">here</a> (works best on a PC).</p>

<p>With 3 events now completed and all funds gathered, we are thrilled to advise that we have raised over $14,000 for Childhood Cancers research, specifically for Assoc. Professor Michelle Teng and Dr Kyohei Nakamura of <a href="https://www.qimrberghofer.edu.au/">QIMR Berghofer</a>.</p>



<p>100% of the funds raised at these events will be donated to the 2 research laboratories where they are battling to understand and beat Ewings Sarcoma and Hodgkins Lymphoma &#8211; in honour of our two softball friends Kirsty Lester and Addie Clay.  Kirsty is kicking butt in her battle against Ewings Sarcoma and Addie fought a great fight and has beaten Hodgkins Lymphoma.</p>



<p>The #p4ac 10 year head shave brought in over $9000, with special thanks to Jodie Wilson and her dad, Dean, for joining in and shaving in Woorim Bribie Island and contributing $1100+ to the head shave.  Pink Panther Day brought in $2600+ and Pink Day for Kirsty $2300+.  Amazing support from our wonderful softball community and #teamp4ac supporters.</p>



<p>The are endless folks to thank and their names have been captured in these videos &#8211; check them out and enjoy!</p>

<p>After a fantastic year of fundraising, at our 2018/19 AGM, the board approved donating $50,000 to Professor Bryan Day and his team at the <a href="https://www.qimrberghofer.edu.au/sid-faithfull-brain-cancer-laboratory/">Sid Faithfull Brain Cancer Laboratory based at the QIMR Berghofer Brisbane</a>.</p>



<p>Board Member Anne Vogler along with Charity Founder Leigh Martyn were on hand to present Bryan and his team $50,000 and once again we got to see them at work in their laboratory.  Bryan said &#8216;What you do for us (researchers) is incredible and this contribution will support ongoing research into developing new targeted therapies for children with brain cancer.  We are incredibly grateful for your support&#8217;.  </p>
