If you have a few dollars to spare, you may just lock in some awesome prizes at the Leukaemia Support Queensland (LSQ) Cent Auction.
With more than 150 prizes on offer, all funds raised at the Cent Auction will go back into LSQ to help build a wellness and accommodation centre in Caboolture.
LSQ is run entirely by volunteers who work hard to raise funds and awareness in the community so they can continue the amazing work they do.
LSQ president Jane McMillan has spent the last 18 years advocating for patients and their families, ensuring they have the support they need during their cancer journey.
“We work to provide assistance where it’s needed the most,” Jane said. “We also work hard to raise awareness and support the research for the treatment and cure of the disease.
Win Prizes and Support Cancer Patients in Caboolture
“This Cent Auction is about raising more money for the wellness and accommodation centre we want to build, with lots of emphasis on the wellness. So many patients and their families need a place of comfort, a home away from home while they are undergoing treatment for blood cancer and we want the chance to be able to give them that.”
For LSQ, hosting a Cent Auction each year for the last few years has proven to be a successful venture with the opportunity to raise up to $3500.
“A Cent Auction is a big thing for a lot of people and they seem to be popular out there, people will actually travel for them,” Jane said. “It’s a chance for the community to win some great prizes and for us to raise money. Along with our parcel of prizes, there’s also super draws with a picnic set that we’ve added champagne and a few other bits and pieces to and a lucky door prize. There is so much here!
“We should also mention one of our sponsors Harvey Norman, they have been very generous, as has the North Lakes Hotel. We are very grateful for their support.”
Entry to the Cent Auction is $5. Tea and coffee will also be available with a scone or sandwiches for $5.
To book a table please contact Jane on 0422 584 080 or Connie on 0488 188 989. For further information about LSQ, please visit Leukaemia Support QLD or follow them on Facebook.
