Raising Money for Nepean Cancer Care Centre |
To celebrate the launch of Dry July, the NCCC held a Trivia Night on 1 July 2016. Here are some photos from the night - with a special thanks to the sponsors including donors to the silent auction and especially the Kingswood Bowling Club, who provided the venue at no cost, and whose customers made unexpected cash donations.
Over $7,500.00 was raised at the event!

Thank you from Nepean Radiation Therapy |
This week the hardware for the replacement Radiation Therapy music library arrived and has successfully been put in place a few moments ago.
Thank you to Dry July for funding this, and to the Dry July team here at Nepean Cancer Care Centre for doing such a great job at raising the money.
This will go a long way to making the patients’ treatments less stressful while being isolated in a noisy bunker.

Improvements at Nepean Cancer Care Centre |
NCCC is using funds raised by Dry July in 2015 towards improving patient comfort in the clinic rooms, updating patient waiting areas, and improving video conference equipment.
The video conferencing equipment enables patients who are receiving palliative care treatment to stay in the comfort of their own home, rather than needing to travel to the hospital for care, and the equipment upgrade will make communication more seamless.
