Can Assist Oberon break records with the Oberon Tigers
Oberon’s annual Can Assist Day & Auction raised $64,000 this year,
making for a total $270,000 raised over seven years.
The Tigers have once again roared for a cause with their yearly fundraiser, and once again they’ve broken records – raising $64,000 for those affected by cancer in the community.
The Oberon Tigers Junior & Senior Rugby League Club held their combined annual Can Assist Day & Auction on July 27.
Can Assist, or Cancer Assistance Network, is a not-for-profit organisation that helps cancer patients in country areas across New South Wales.
This year’s Oberon events showcased a spectacular community turnout, including the Eugowra Golden Eagles, who travelled for the day to compete for a good cause.
The Tigers’ League Tag girls team secured their win with a score of 20-12. Meanwhile the Eagles clinched the win for the men’s team by scoring with 30 seconds left on the clock, leaving a final score of 22-18.
The final figure raised through the day, $64,000, beat the previous year’s figure of $58,336 – which was itself also record-breaking. The annual event has now raised a total of $270,000 across seven years.
