The residents of Tarragal Glen Retirement Village and the young pupils at Erina Kindergarten joined forces recently to support Crestani Scholarships, a Central Coast charity dedicated to improving cancer treatment through education.
Tarragal Glen hosted a lively fundraising event, featuring raffles, auctions, and creative market stalls offering cakes, handcrafted items and leather goods.
The successful event culminated in a generous donation of $7,500 to Crestani Scholarships, reinforcing the community’s commitment to advancing cancer research and medical education.
Erina Kindergarten also contributed to the cause, donating $1,000, with two young students proudly presenting their donation to charity founder Yvonne Crestani.
Crestani Scholarships, managed entirely by volunteers, focuses on funding further education for medical personnel to enhance cancer treatment and patient outcomes.
“Cancer education is an ongoing science and with more funding we can continue to strive for the best possible treatment available,” Yvonne Crestani said.
The donations were presented at the University of Newcastle’s Central Coast campus by Marilyn Courts, Chairperson of the Tarragal Glen residents social committee, and Robyn Hawes.
So proud of Yvonne Crestani OAM for her many years of work raising funds for her amazing charity.
How wonderful of the good residents of Tarragal Glenn and the children of Erina Kindergarten for their wonderful contribution to such a worthy cause.
