Cancer Council NSW Supporter Awards 2019

Supporter Awards winners announced!
The first-ever Cancer Council NSW Supporter Awards took place on Saturday 9 November and was a great success! Awards were presented to selected winners across a range of categories, capturing almost the entire spectrum of our supporter community.
It was an amazing opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to all the inspirational individuals, teams and organisations that make our work possible!
A massive thanks to Holland America Line for generously providing the venue aboard one of their luxurious charters, The Noordam.
We’re already looking forward to next year’s Supporter Awards, so start thinking about who deserves recognition from your community!

About the Cancer Council NSW Supporter Awards
On Saturday 9 November 2019, Cancer Council NSW, in partnership with Holland America Line, is holding its first ever Supporter Awards to celebrate the amazing individuals and organisations that give their time, resources or funding to make our work possible. These state awards present an opportunity to say a huge thank you to those who help us reduce the impact of cancer.
The awards event will be invite-only and hosted on Noordam, one of Holland America Line’s fleet of 14 elegant ships, while she is docked at White Bay Cruise Terminal on Sydney Harbour. Holland America Line is an avid supporter of Cancer Council NSW and its provision of a venue for the 2019 Supporter Awards is yet another example of its generosity and passion for a cancer free future.
