It was a sea of pink, laughter and community spirit at Lincoln Lifestyle Northern Rivers, as residents and locals came together for a special fundraising event in support of breast cancer research.

Held on the 8th of October in the community’s Sports Pavilion, the event welcomed around 70 guests, including residents and members of the wider community, for a wonderful day of entertainment, friendship and fundraising. Most importantly, the event raised just shy of an impressive $3,500, with all proceeds supporting Breast Cancer Trials and its vital research.

The Sports Pavilion was transformed into a celebration of pink, with guests embracing the theme and enjoying a fun-filled day of music, karaoke, raffles, games, delicious food and a welcome cocktail. Resident entertainers Steve and Maxine kept spirits high with fantastic live music and karaoke, creating plenty of laughs and memorable moments along the way.

The event was brought to life by an incredible group of resident volunteers, including Helen, Lorraine, Marg, Lynnie and Ally, whose enthusiasm, hard work and generosity made the day such a success. From organising raffle prizes and decorating the pavilion to preparing a wonderful spread of food, the residents truly demonstrated what community spirit is all about.

The generosity extended well beyond the community, with local businesses throughout Maclean and Yamba contributing an amazing collection of raffle prizes and donations. Their support helped keep event costs to a minimum, ensuring more funds could go directly towards breast cancer research.

While the fundraising result was something to celebrate, it was the sense of connection that made the day particularly special. Long after the entertainment had finished and the decorations were packed away, residents remained together, sharing stories, laughter and conversation.

It’s moments like these that capture what living life well at Lincoln Lifestyle Northern Rivers is all about. More than just beautiful homes and resort-style amenities, it’s about creating a welcoming community where friendships flourish, neighbours come together and everyone has the opportunity to make a difference.

A heartfelt thank you to the dedicated resident volunteers, Steve and Maxine for the wonderful entertainment, the generous businesses of Maclean and Yamba, and everyone who attended or contributed to making the day such a success.

Together, the Lincoln Lifestyle Northern Rivers community has shown that a little generosity, a lot of pink and a shared sense of purpose can make a meaningful difference.
