A recent gathering organized by the Aberdeen and Kincardine District Young Farmers in Stonehaven has successfully raised funds for Breast Cancer Now, while simultaneously increasing awareness for this vital cause. The Ladies’ Day event, themed “touch of pink,” attracted numerous attendees eager to contribute to the fight against breast cancer.
Community spirit shines through
The event, which follows a similar fundraiser last year that raised £1,500 for the agricultural charity RSABI, has generated excitement among organizers and participants alike. Although the final total from this year’s fundraiser is still being calculated, there is optimism that it could surpass last year’s amount.
This reflects the growing commitment of the community to support important health causes.
Delightful experiences and generous contributions
Guests were welcomed with glasses of Prosecco, setting a festive tone for the afternoon. Eilidh Davidson Catering provided a delightful afternoon tea, ensuring that attendees enjoyed a memorable culinary experience. The atmosphere was further enlivened by DJ Jasper, who kept the dance floor lively until late in the evening. This combination of good food, music, and camaraderie created a vibrant environment that encouraged generosity and support for the cause.
Importance of raising awareness
Elspeth Walker, the Young Farmers’ club secretary, expressed her gratitude for the overwhelming support received for the event. “It’s been a pleasure to be part of a committee that has come together to organize this event. Everyone has worked so hard to put everything together,” she stated. Walker emphasized the significance of the cause, noting that breast cancer affects many individuals, either directly or through loved ones. The raffle, supported by generous donations from local and farming businesses, featured amazing prizes that further incentivized participation and donations.
The success of this event not only highlights the community’s dedication to supporting breast cancer awareness but also showcases the power of local initiatives in making a difference. As the Young Farmers continue to engage in charitable activities, they foster a spirit of unity and compassion that resonates throughout Stonehaven and beyond.
