"Colours of the Monaro" Fundraising Dinner<\/b>
\n\t\t\t\t\tOnce again, the fundraising dinner, the MCCR's major fundraising event, was a spectacular success. In total $60,000 was raised to further the funding of the Cooma Oncology Unit and research into cancer. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The $60,000 was made up of $28,500 from ticket sales and $34,000 through a charity auction on the night.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Adaminaby Bowling Charity Day
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/b>A fantastic day of bowls and fundraising resulted in a cheque being presented to the MCCR for $23,617. This money will be used in the local area to upgrade oncology and related services at the Cooma Hospital. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Weird, Wonderful and Wacky Workshop
\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/b>A dynamic group of women from the Nimmitabel district organised this fundraiser with a difference. The day saw acclaimed corporate speaker, Annie Gregg give her time freely and make her audience THINK. The workshop was a great success and the $3,500 raised was donated to the MCCR. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Berridale<\/b> <\/b>Bridge<\/b> Day<\/b>
\n\t\t\t\t\tOn the 16th September the MCCR held a Bridge Day at Berridale. The day was a great success and the 65 players raised a total of $2,300. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Independent Assn of Seed Graders<\/b>
\n\t\t\t\t\t$6000 was raised at a Independent Assn of Seed Graders conference held at the Cooma Ex-Services Club held in September. The money was the result of an auction held on the final day of the conference. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Snowy Ride<\/b>
\n\t\t\t\t\tThe Snowy Ride is an annual motorcycle event which attracts around 3000 riders to the Snowy Mountains. The money raised from this event goes to Childrens Cancer Institute and the Centre for Blood Disorders. In 2008 the MCCR were asked to provide lunch at Numeralla Hall and morning tea at Coolringdon for a group of 30 riders who were taken on an organised ride. For this work the Snowy Ride donated $2000 to the MCCR. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Open<\/b> <\/b>Garden<\/b> Day<\/b>
\n\t\t\t\t\tGail Stubbs held an Open Garden Day at her property on the same day the Snowy Ride. She donated the $600 taken at the gate to the MCCR. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Banjo <\/b>Paterson<\/b> Day at Nimmitabel<\/b>
\n\t\t\t\t\tBanjo Paterson historian, Cliff Crane, told the history of Banjo and recited some of his poems. The day was a huge success and enjoyed by all. $3240 was raised for the MCCR. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cooma Steel Metaland<\/b>
\n\t\t\t\t\tRecently Cooma Steel Metaland held a giant auction with part of the proceeds going to the MCCR. It was a big day with the special guest, Merv Hughes, proving to be a great attraction. $4500 was donated to the MCCR from the day.  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Sarah Allen runs the City to Surf for MCCR.<\/strong>
\n\t\t\t\t\tAfter suffering cancer during 2007-8 Sarah has made an amazing recovery and tackled the City to Surf on August 14. This was her way of saluting the special people who supported her in so many ways through a difficult time. Sarah also wanted to encourage others with cancer to see light at the end of what can seem like a very long tunnel. Sarah raised $27,000.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Torah Bright Snowboard Raffle.<\/strong>
\n\t\t\t\t\tWinter Olympian, Torah Bright donated one of the snowboards she had with her at the 2010 Winter Olympics to the MCCR. We raffled this board along with prizes from Rhythm Snowsports, Perisher and Ski Co, during the winter. The raffle raised $7,300. We would like to thank everyone who supported us by buying tickets.
