The money raised will go towards the Oberon Branch of Can Assist, which is dedicated to offering support to any person of any age in the community affected by cancer.
The branch offers assistance such as petrol vouchers for travel to and from treatments, financial assistance for medical appointments, food vouchers, contributes to utility bills and assists with vehicle maintenance.
Oberon Community Transport would like to give a big thank you to Barkers Butchery, Foodworks, community members, volunteers and staff who donated and helped bring the night together. It was enjoyed by all who attended.
