Story

What started out to be a little joke between friends has become an opportunity for Hunter Breast Cancer Foundation (HBCF) to get some much needed support.

I think you would be hard pressed to find a family that has not been touched by cancer and particularly breast cancer. In 2021, it is estimated that a person has a 1 in 15 (or 6.7%) risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer by the age of 85.

Come Join us for a fun day of barefoot bowls, games and activities.

Novocastrians are  known for having each others back and that is exactly what HBCF is all about. Lets help local families. Every bit counts.
