A very special mention to three of our staff members, Crystal, Grace & Brett , along with resident Jean who all contributed to the "Shave For A Cure" foundation to raise funds for cancer research.
Crystal, Grace and Brett all had their heads shaves for the cause , Brett at Mareeba last Tuesday, whilst the girls had their head shaved last Sunday as part of a bowls afternoon at the Maclean Bowling Club.
Jean had some very bright pink colours put in her hair as her part towards this fundraiser.
In total there was around $5,500 raised for the Shave For A Cure foundation so a massive congratulations must go to everyone involved.
Crystal, Grace & Brett would particularly like to offer their most heart felt gratitude to "Nanna Shirl Gillespie" who put in many hours of her own time to assist with the fundraiser & also to all within the local community who supported them by buying raffle tickets and contributed at the bowls afternoon.
Residents and staff from Mareeba Aged Care in Maclean welcomed in Spring by joining the thousands of other Australians supporting Daffodil Day to raise funds for the Cancer Council.
Mareeba Aged Care in Maclean has launched the Mareeba Men’s Group, which is already proving popular with male residents.
