Burdekin Catholic High School Students Rally For Childhood Cancer Support

In a heartwarming display of compassion and community spirit, Year 7 students at Burdekin Catholic High School came together to make a significant contribution to childhood cancer support.

Through their dedicated efforts, they raised an impressive $953.50, demonstrating the power of unity and generosity among the school's youngest members.

This fundraising initiative was further bolstered by a generous donation of $1,000 from Queensland Country Bank in 2023, underscoring the local community's commitment to supporting vital causes.

The funds raised, along with the bank's contribution, have been directed towards the 2024 Townsville to Cairns Bike Ride (TCBR). The TCBR will commence on Thursday 25 July with nine Burdekin locals set to ride, raising awareness and funds for childhood cancer research and support services.

The school extends its gratitude to the Year 7 families for their support, Queensland Country Bank for their generous donation, and Burdekin Distributors for their contribution of bags for the lolly fundraising efforts.
