Pharmacy flushes cancer
October 21, 2011
AUSTRALIAN pharmacies
should give themselves a big pat on
the back after helping to raise more
than $200,000 for the male cancer
charity Blue September.
The funds were raised via the sale
of the pharmacy-only limited
edition Quilton toilet tissue pack
(made possible via a partnership
between Quilton, the Pharmacy
Guild of Australia, Symbion and
API), as well as in-store promotions
and donations.
The funds will now be put
towards the official Blue September
charities, the Australian Cancer
Research Foundation and Bowel
Cancer Australia.
“We’re very pleased to be able to
make this donation to Blue
September,” said Pharmacy Guild of
Australia President, Kos Sclavos.
“We would like to thank all of the
pharmacies around Australia which
supported the campaign.
“These are fantastic organisations
doing great things in the
community and we are pleased to
help fund the important research
and support services they provide,”
he added.
MEANWHILE, the winner of the
Blue September in-store display
photograph competition has been
announced as Whittlesea Amcal
Pharmacy in Whittlesea, Victoria,
which for its efforts has scored a
Californian holiday worth $9,000.
