Finley community rallies for Can Assist at tractor pull

They would also like to thank Finley IGA for allowing them to use the premises to sell tickets in the lead up to the event.

It seems the good work carried out by Can Assist volunteers does not go unnoticed. Trish De Vito was so thankful for assistance given to a member of her family while going through treatment for cancer, she got together with the IGA businesses in Finley, Berrigan and Jerilderie and came up with the idea of purchasing a much-needed marquee.

Again, the supplier of the marque, Aaron Kunyik of Boronia, Victoria, when realising it was being sponsored by the businesses for Can Assist, supplied it at a substantially reduced cost.

It is expected the marquee will be used well into the future to protect the volunteers when out in the elements raising funds to assist local members of the community going through their journey with cancer.

Can Assist Finley branch president Pat Radford said $1200 was raised with the toy raffle and expressed appreciation to Hutcheon and Pearce for assistance with the magnificent toys purchased as prizes for the raffle.

Margaret Arnold was delighted with the Big Farm header she won as first prize; Andrew Sherman won second prize of a Big Farm tractor and ferry bin and Graeme Radford was third and won assorted toys.
