The Wesley Hospital celebrated the annual Think Pink Choices charity ball last weekend. Several events were held during the week to raise funds for the Wesley Hospital Kim Walters Choices charity, including a morning tea, a masquerade ball, the Kim7 tunnel fundraiser and the Think Pink Charity Ball to end the week.
The Kim Walters Choices charity provides support, information and counseling to women (and men) with breast cancer and gynecological cancers – and also provides support to their loved ones. The program operates free of charge to all participants regardless of where they are located or where they're receiving treatment and supporterd over 12,000 women last year.
The Thoracic and Sleep Group QLD were proud to support the cause this year booking three tables at the Think Pink Choices Charity ball on Saturday night. A great night was had by all, including our marketing manager Carla Di Marco, who was lucky enough to win the lucky door prize. One of our tables also managed to win the charity envelope draw at the end of the night. Plenty of bidding was involved with our staff walking away with a few items from the silent auctions.
