Beanies raise vital funds
KNITTED beanies were on sale again at the Mossman Support Services’ annual ‘Beanies for Brain Cancer’ fundraiser on Wednesday last week under the iconic raintrees in Mossman.
This much-loved community event invited locals and visitors alike to start their morning with purpose by purchasing a hand-knitted beanie, while enjoying a hot chocolate, homemade brownies, or a bacon and egg roll.
All funds raised will go directly to the Mark Hughes Foundation, supporting vital brain cancer research and awareness initiatives.
This year, the event was bolstered by the generous support of local businesses, with Dukes Artisan Bakehouse and Grant Street Kitchen kindly donating a delicious selection of brownies to be sold on the day.
“We’re so grateful for the continued support of the Mossman community and our local partners,” said Mossman Support Services manager Heather McGillivray-Taylor.
“It’s always a heartwarming morning filled with connection, generosity and a shared commitment to making a difference,” she said.
This year’s event raised $500, adding to a total of $2160 that has been donated to the Mark Hughes Foundation over the last four years.
