$59,709 Raised for ABCR

Continuing their fight against breast cancer, Australian Breast Cancer Research Ambassadors Adelady and G-Fresh raised an incredible $59,709 from their sold-out Longest Table dinner!

The teams held their fourth annual Longest Table dinner on Saturday 19 September 2020 at Adelaide’s Sunnybrae Estate. They announced $58,588 on the night and with further funds raised, took their total to $59,709!

Unsure whether their event was going ahead or not given the COVID-19 pandemic, the team were thrilled they were able to host a COVID safe event and raise vital funds for breast cancer research.

“Breast cancer isn’t stopping for a pandemic and now more than ever we felt it was important to continue the fight against this heartbreaking disease,” Lauren said.

“We were absolutely blown away by the support from the South Australian community as well as the generosity from all the small businesses who donated to our event despite many doing it tough this year.”

Peter Economou, one of the three directors at G-Fresh says they were very happy to be able to hold an event this year and were grateful the community got behind them.

“Each year we are amazed by the support of the South Australian community and we are extremely thrilled to have raised an incredible amount for breast cancer research – thank you,” Peter said.

Dr Marina Kochetkova was the special guest speaker of the night, who shared her groundbreaking breast cancer research.

“Dr Kochetkova’s incredible work can potentially save the lives of so many women which is why we decided to dedicate our funds to her research,” Hayley said.

This year, thanks to the efforts of our incredible hosts, both loyal and new, The Longest Table raised a staggering $252,224 for cancer research!

The Longest Table is the annual cancer fundraiser of The Hospital Research Foundation Group.
