Fundraising starts for quest

Queen of the Brisbane Water Oyster Festival entrant Ms Rachael Scoins has set a target of $20,000 to raise for the fund-raising quest in November.

To kick off her fundraising campaign, Ms Scoins of North Gosford will host two exclusive screenings of the new Sex and the City 2 movie early next month with the help of local businesses.

All proceeds from the events will go to Cancer Council NSW to support the research and prevention of breast and ovarian cancers.

"I chose this initiative as cancer is so prevalent in our society today and we have been able to see the result that the Cancer Council can do, including the cervical cancer vaccination, with the support from fundraisers," Ms Scoins said.

The screenings will take place at Erina and in Sydney.
