McGrath Foundation the winner at Acheson’s ladies night

Forbes has raised more than $8000 for the McGrath Foundation and October isn't over yet!

Acheson's Mitre 10's ladies night was a centrepiece of the business's fundraising for the breast cancer cause, and generously supported by all.

Feature of the night was a tradie auction, with seven tradies donating their time and skills to be auctioned for the cause.

Highest bid on the night was $1000 by Forbes RSL for two hours of work by painter Jaidyn Jones.

The generous bids of the community and the sponsor’s donations of raffle prizes were all very much appreciated by all who attended.

The store was packed, pink was everywhere and the spirits were high.

At the end of the night, organiser Jacinda Acheson was thrilled to announce that the total raised so far was over $5000, exceeding the target of $4000.

By October 19, the fundaising total had tipped over $8000.
