Corowa Pony Club turns pink for a cause

The Corowa Pony Club was awash with pink over the weekend for its annual Pink Day Memorial Fundraiser — an event that brings together the community, ponies, and a whole lot of heart.

This year, the club raised $1,430 in honour of their much-loved past president, Ronnette Williams, who sadly lost her battle with cancer. The day was a fitting tribute, filled with laughter, pink glitter, pink outfits for ponies and people— even though pink was Ronnette’s least favourite colour.

“We wear pink because she didn’t like it — it became our fun way of remembering her and supporting a cause close to our hearts,” Nancy Naughtin, Treasurer shared.

The event also shone a light on how cancer has affected many local families in the Corowa region, making the day even more meaningful.

“To have the cancer centre in our region, is a blessing. We don’t need to travel long distances for treatment and as a club, we are happy to make annual donations,” said Nancy.

Andrew Mackinlay, Trust fund Manager praised the Club’s incredible dedication to the annual memorial fundraiser, saying “The generosity shown by the Corowa Pony Club is incredibly heartwarming. This Club’s donation and commitment to wearing pink will make the world of difference to those in our region affected by cancer here”.

A huge shout out to all the parents who helped create so many pink costumes for both humans and ponies!  We hear that you too got into the pink theme and can’t thank you enough.

There really is nothing better than kids and ponies in pink to make you smile.
