Fundraising allows us to provide innovative equipment and services to enhance patient care and staff wellbeing. Donations to our public health service help us make our community stronger, healthier and a better place for us all to live.
Our Community Champions, Kelli and her brother Josh, have hosted their 3rd Annual Wellness Ball to support our Dry July Campaign for the Ballarat Regional Integrated Cancer Centre (BRICC) and Wellness Centre.
With a Black & White theme, the ball brought together over 350 people on a cold winter's night for an evening of dancing, socialising and fundraising. With live and silent auctions, guests gave generously to support our Dry July campaign. Dry July is the biggest fundraiser of the year for BRICC and is used to support the Wellness Centre and to help purchase medical equipment for our Chemotherapy Day Unit.
The Cancer Wellness Centre is open to all cancer patients and their families, with a wide range of support services and education. It is free and open to all patients receiving cancer treatment. The Wellness Centre receives no government funding - it relies entirely on community donations, like the Wellness Ball and Dry July to continue to provide its services.
