STANTHORPE local Carol Power from Carol Power Hats, Clothing and Crafts will be holding a fund-raiser for the Brain Cancer Foundation at her store on Saturday.
She will be holding a beanie and scarf stall at her store at 35 Maryland Street, Stanthorpe this Saturday 1 August from 9am to 1pm.
All proceeds will go towards the Brain Cancer Foundation.
Ms Power’s nephew was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer and she would like to raise all the awareness she can to help.
Her nephew Brad is 33 years old. He and his wife have three kids and the youngest is 10 months old.
“I just want to show my nephew how much I care about him,” Ms Powers said.
“My nephew has brain cancer, and it’s the least funded cancer there is of all the cancers. I just want to make people aware that this is out there.”
Ms Powers said the donations had already flooded in with beanies donated from Rockhampton, Mackay, Bribie Island, Coochiemudlo Island, Sydney, Newcastle and of course the loyal local residents of Stanthorpe and Warwick.
“People have been donating from all over, it’s wonderful,” she said.
Ms Powers said that there were no set prices for the items with her main goal being to raise awareness.
“Beanies and scarves will be sold for donations for whatever people can afford to pay. I don’t want to put any prices, because there are people who can’t afford anything,” she said.
Please get down to Carol Power Hats, Clothing and Crafts at Stanthorpe this Saturday and show your support.
