This month is an exciting time for Bloomhill, a Sunshine Coast based organisation dedicated to assisting people to live well with cancer, with a family fun day planned for the grand opening of their new Noosaville op shop, on Saturday 21 March 2009.
The action-packed day, from 9am to 12noon will be held at the new store on Rene Street and will celebrate the opening of the 7th store that the charity organisation runs on the Coast.
Bloomhill is operated by a dedicated team of professional staff, therapists and assisted by a large number of volunteers. It relies on the generosity of the public and funds generated by its Op Shops and offers practical as well as emotional support for people with cancer and their loved ones, including complementary therapies, counselling, support groups and transport.
“The launch is an opportunity for family and friends to get together and witness the new store opening, as well as have some fun together,” Bloomhill Committee Member Jenny Carroll said.
“Bloomhill relies heavily on support from the community which we have already experienced a great deal of with our first store in the Noosa area so we also want to say thank you to the community.”
The day will have something for everybody with hot dogs, kids balloons and activities, cake and the official opening. Zinc FM will also be at the opening with giveaways.
Bloomhill patron, former Olympian and cancer survivor Raelene Boyle AM MBE will carry out the official opening of the store at 10am.
“It is a pleasure to have our very supportive patron Raelene Boyle opening the event,” Jenny said.
“Bloomhill raises over 80% of the money used to fund its work through the op shops across the coast including Buderim, Mooloolaba, Maroochydore, Caloundra, Nambour, and the distribution centre at Kunda Park so we are thrilled to officially open the Noosaville shop and to see it doing so well already.”
The launch will be the start of a 30% off sale across the entire shop, which will run for a week from the official opening.
“We look forward to seeing everyone at the opening.”
