Entrant starts raising funds

Brisbane Water Queen of the Oyster Festival entrant Ms Nikki Sneade will kick off her fundraising campaign with a Pink Prom ball at the Sporties at Woy Woy Bowling Club later this month.

This year Ms Sneade will be sponsored by the local bowling club in the Club Challenge that aims to raise money for breast cancer research and awareness before the November festival at Ettalong.

The Leslie St Veterinary Clinic nurse said she was looking forward to getting started in her fundraising efforts and had many fun and exciting events planned over the next three months.

"I will be holding a Pink Prom ball on August 26, with all proceeds going towards breast cancer research," Ms Sneade said.

"Doors will be opening at 7pm and there will be a courtesy bus available.

"There will be lucky door prizes and a prize for the lucky Prom King and Queen who will be crowned on the night.

"I will also be running raffles throughout the night with lots of great prizes."

Ms Sneade has also planned a trivia night and barefoot bowls day for later in the year.

"I decided to join the fundraising campaign because I didn't know anything about breast cancer and I think there are many girls like me in the same position," Ms Sneade said.

"After my friend ran for Oyster Queen last year I thought that this would be a good experience for me.

"I will also be selling raffle tickets at the Umina Bunnies home games for the remainder of the season

"On Thursday and Friday nights, I will be selling 100 numbers tickets for either a $50 cash prize or $100 cash prize at the Woy Woy Bowling Club.

"You will also see many of my tins in local supporting stores."
