Pampered.com.au Charity Sponsorship

Pampered.com.au was the proud major sponsor of the inaugural YWCA Encore After Breast Cancer Program dinner, held at Onyx bar and restaurant on Tuesday 30 October 2007.

The event in which over $3000 was raised, was organised and coordinated by Pampered.com.au, in conjunction with Hallis Recruitment and Onyx.

Over 150 women (and a few men) attended the event that provided the opportunity to mingle, drink cocktails, check out the Pampered.com.au goodie bag and eat some yummy food.

The event coincided with the site launch of Pampered.com.au and 4 lucky guests won $50 Pampered.com.au gift vouchers, which were presented by the guys from Collars & Cuffs who had the Pampered.com.au logo emblazoned on the chests!
Proceeds from the evening have been presented to the YWCA Encore program to set up at least one more Encore program at Royal Brisbane and Women’s hospital that will benefit more than 16 women in the after care treatment of breast cancer.

About the YWCA Encore Program
YWCA Encore is an exercise program designed specifically for women who have experienced mastectomy, lumpectomy or breast reconstruction surgery at any time in their lives. Based around floor and pool exercises and relaxation techniques, it is safe, fun and therapeutic. The water resistance exercises are gentle but effective, and the warm water relaxes and relieves affected muscles. Encore can help you strengthen and tone your arms, shoulders and chest, regain mobility, and improve your general fitness.
