Events for cancer research

Umina Beach Rugby League Football Club will hosting a charity auction night and fundraising day to support the National Breast Cancer Foundation next month.

Players, supporters and the general public are invited to the Sporties at Woy Woy on the evening of Friday, May 7, to auction off a number of items in support of raising money for breast cancer research.

The charity auction night will be followed by a fundraising day at Umina Oval for round five of the local rugby league competition that will see the Umina Bunnies take on North Lakes on Sunday, May 9.

The first game of the day will kick off from 10.15am with the Under-19s followed by the open grade at 11.30am, second grade at 1pm and first grade from 2.30pm.

Club president Mr Matthew Harvey said the main aim of the two events was to raise money for breast cancer research with the added bonus of bringing together the community spirit of the club and its sponsors and supporters.

"This can only be a good thing for our area and the game," Mr Harvey said.

"It would be fantastic to see all our supporters come along and support this very worthy cause and help us raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation."
