Port City Bowling Club Makes Life More Comfortable in Palliative Care

The $9082 donation from Port City Bowling Club through the ClubGRANTS program means patients will have ergonomic, fully adjustable recliners to rest or sleep in. The chairs are also a welcome addition for family members who want to stay with their loved one overnight.

Port City Bowling Club CEO David Gearing said he was proud of the ClubGRANTS program and the difference it makes to local charities and sporting groups in the community.

“Our Club is community-based and owned, supporting any cause in need of donations,” Mr Gearing said. 

“We’re proud to be in this space, and in this instance, supporting seriously ill patients and their families.”

Trustee Ron Fischer from Hastings Cancer Trust thanked Port City Bowling Club for reaching out to the cancer-focused charity to find a worthy cause to support. 

“Hastings Cancer Trust is proud to work closely with Port City Bowling Club and other sponsors to raise funds to help local cancer patients, services and projects,” Mr Fischer said. 

“Our fundraising committee works tirelessly with our community to ensure local cancer patients receive the support they and their loved ones need.” 

Mr Fischer invited Hastings residents to donate to the Trust or join the Friends of the Hastings Cancer Trust to help fundraise. Anyone wanting to support the Trust can email [email protected] or visit the charity’s website, hastingscancertrust.org.au, to find out more.
