25.01.2022 Had a fantastic day today raising money and awareness for a great cause! Couldnt have done it without the help of UOW Wellbeing, UoW Rotaract Club, Illawarra Public Health Society, Cancer Council NSW and all of the amazing students who both baked delicious goods and donated their time to run the event. A special shout out to Tim Robinson, our guest speaker that attended the event to share his story in the hope of raising awareness around the signs and causes of cancer among... young people. Plus, another huge thank you to all of the students and staff that visited us down at the bake sale today, buying goods to support the cause! Looking forward to doing it all again next year!
