Kin Kin stumps up in pink It was a great day all round at the annual Pink Stumps Day at Kin Kin Sportsground last Sunday when the Kin Kin Community took on the Noosa Council and won again. Maybe it’s the home turf advantage but in its nine game history Kin Kin has taken the Pink Stumps Day title seven times. This year the final score was 115 to 95 and the all-important fundraising effort for the McGrath Foundation reached more than $4200. There was fierce competition on the cricket field and all sorts of antics employed. The Kin Kin Community even used star-power, enlisting the help for the second year of local celebrities including Jimmy Wilkins, winner of the 2020 reality show, The Block, and chef Matt Golinski.

$270k from lunch The Noosa Prostate Association has raised a whopping $270,000 at their fifth annual Prostate Cancer Awareness Lunch held on 30 July with 300 people converging on the Noosa Heads Surf Club. The event is one of Noosa’s best and most successful charity fundraisers, with tickets being taken up by supporters without release to the general public. The Association has now raised over $1,000,000
for awareness, education, research and support, and for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, and it has been instrumental in having a prostate cancer specialist nurse appointed for Noosa. Their message at the lunch was that as prostate cancer takes the lives of about 3700 men each year, men must have an annual blood test, as early detection saves lives and late detection can be fatal. The Noosa Prostate Association has gathered
an extraordinary group of partners, sponsors, donors, and supporters including Ramsay Health Care, Icon Cancer Centre, Ogilvie Group, Noosa Heads Surf Lifesaving Supporters Club and SurfClub Noosa restaurant. Guests were educated by urologist Dr Stuart Collins and oncologist Associate Professor Alex Tan, and entertained by businesswoman Janine Allis and comedian Darren Carr.
Eighteen auction items were energetically auctioned and raised $125,000. They included a private jet and yacht charter, stays at Charlotte Pass Snow Resort, Mt Mulligan Lodge, Bedarra Resort, and Upper House By Aria, a Flight Centre package, jewellery from Isabella’s, an evening with Janine Allis, even a Roger Whittaker gold record, and Jackie O’s Masked Singer dress.
