We’re so close to reaching our $5,000 fundraising goal for Rise Above – Capital Region Cancer Relief, (use to be known as ACT Eden Monaro Cancer Support Group) and we’ve got a fun way to get there! 🎉
Meet Gary, our beloved hand-reared steer who loves a bit of attention. 🐮💕
For the next four days, we’re auctioning the chance for your business logo or name to be displayed on Gary for everyone to see!
Inkline Print and Signs have kindly sponsored the signage, and Gary’s paddock on Johnson Drive, Calwell sees hundreds of locals drive by every day heading to Tuggeranong, Burra, Googong, and Cooma. https://www.inklinesigns.com.au/
It’s a light-hearted way to do something good – support a great cause and get your business noticed! 🌿
SO the highest donation received by 31st October 2025 will earn the opportunity to place a message on Gary
💗 Every dollar helps us reach our $5,000 goal.

What an incredible evening! 🌸
Our Pink October Fundraiser at Tuggeranong Homestead raised an amazing $3,035 for Rise Above – Capital Region Cancer Relief — and we couldn’t have done it without our incredible community. 💕
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, bid in the auctions, donated prizes, and helped bring the night to life.
Special thanks to:
🎤 MC Michael Bower, for keeping the laughter flowing all night
📸 Mel & Michael from Mell Hill Photography"The Loop", for capturing beautiful moments and jumping in to support the auctions (we hope you enjoy your rooftop getaway and gin!)
🍸 Chris and Nicole for hosting the gin tasting, donating prizes, and rallying friends to join the cause – your generosity was incredible
Murrumbidgee Country Club
🎶 Cat Martin from Moku Music, for filling the gardens with music
💇♀️ MissyMagic Styles, whose donated voucher was won by a guest who had finished chemo that very morning – a moment that touched everyone’s hearts
🍰 Katrina & Harriet Williams, for baking homemade slices that raised $180
🥩 Griffith Butchery, Australian Wine Archives, and all our amazing donors for your support
You’ve helped make a real difference for local families facing cancer, and we couldn’t be prouder. 💗
🎟️ If you missed the night, you can still donate and help us reach our $5,000 target here: https://www.riseabovecbr.org.au/my-fundraising/94/rise-and-shine
By making a donation, you’ll also go in the running for a unique prize — the highest donation received by 31st October 2025 will earn the opportunity to place a message, logo, or business name on Gary, our friendly home-reared steer who loves to wander the paddocks along Johnson Drive, Calwell.
A fun and innovative way to advertise in Canberra while supporting a great cause! 🐄💛
