Tuggeranong Netball Association
Eight-hour netball game raises $8344.55 for Bosom Buddies
After eight hours of continuous netball on Saturday 28 July, Tuggeranong Netball Association (TNA) has raised $8344.55 for breast cancer support group Bosom Buddies.
The TNA Turns Pink community and fundraising event brought all Tuggeranong clubs, teams, players, families and others from the wider netball and Canberra community together to raise much needed funds for Bosom Buddies who support Canberrans being treated for breast cancer and their families.
The event had a target of $5000 but, after full-time was called at 5pm, TNA announced that $7,500 had been raised.
With final pledges being honoured over the past few weeks, TNA is thrilled to announce that the final amount raised is $8,344.55.
“The day, the event, the stalls, the raffles and the marathon netball game were a huge success in so many ways,” TNA president, Lou Bilston, says.
“In an eight-hour non-stop game, with more than 120 teams, more than 800 players taking to the court, Team Pink (229) won the game over Team White (228) by just one goal.
TNA wishes to thank the following special guests for participating and supporting this event: Annette Ellis (TNA Patron); ACT MLAs Andrew Barr, Brendan Smyth, Steve Doszpot, Shane Rattenbury and Amanda Bresnan; and Bryant Howie (Tuggeranong Vikings).
TNA would like to thank its sponsors ACT Capital Pathology and Tuggeranong Vikings for their support for the event.
“Thanks also to Netball ACT and other netball associations, Belconnen, Queanbeyan, Canberra and South Canberra who sent teams or players to participate,” Louise says.
“Huge thanks and congratulations to our many volunteers, participants and visitors on the day.
“Special mention of those involved organising and delivering this wonderful event, who all went above and beyond.
“The organising committee, the stall managers and marshals (and their families)—Jonathan Toze, David Sibley, David Tronerud, Von Bennett, Karen Brown, Marg Argue, Clare Kelly, Jamie Johnson, Carolyn Symons, Karen Cameron, Sarah Mayo, Ashlee Tronerud, Emily Toze, Grace Ephraums, Laura Sibley, Cathy Toze, Hayley Ngametua, Julie Freebody.”
