Come along for Ladies’ Day out
CAMPERDOWN’S Football and Netball Club is gearing up for its annual Ladies’ Day, aiming to raise funds for an important cause.
This year’s event will be raising funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation on Saturday (tomorrow).
Event organiser Lily Eldridge said the club aims to invite at least 110 to 120 women to the Reid Stockfeeds Function Centre at the Leura Oval.
“A young local, Holly Swayn, is running the Melbourne marathon in support of ovarian cancer, so we thought it was a great way to go about promoting her but also promoting ovarian cancer awareness this year,” she said.
“We’re trying to help by getting behind her but also raising much needed funds for ovarian cancer awareness.
“We’re hoping to definitely build on that.
“Yearly, we try and always beat the previous year’s total, hence why we’re taking it into the night this year.”
Ms Eldridge said this year’s Ladies’ Day will have new features.
“This year, we’re having a cocktail hour, we’re having live music in the evening, and we’re doing our auctions a little bit different,” she said.
“We’ll have Toby Kent running our auction, a young footballer, and we’ve got probably our best auction and raffle items we’ve had for a while, which will be really exciting.
“It should be a good night out.”
Residents are invited to come along from 2.30pm onwards, with live music by Natalie Atkinson set to begin from 7pm.
Ms Eldridge said tickets are $30 per person, and include a drink on arrival, finger food, and entry into the door prize.
“We’d really love everyone to jump behind us and support us,” she said.
“Everyone’s welcome – it is a community event, not just a football club event.
“It is for the community, so we’d love to see as many ladies join us as we can.
“Juniors are welcome – they’re at a reduced fee of $15, and they can pay at the door.”
