A CRANBOURNE medical clinic raised much-needed funds for the Leukaemia Foundation on Saturday with a family fun day out.
Ceri Small said the event at the Duff Street Medical Clinic managed to raise $900 for the cause.
“For a first attempt, it wasn’t too bad,” she said.
“The kids had fun and that’s the main thing.”
The clinic hosted a variety of entertainment which included a magician, animals, face painting and a sausage sizzle.
The free event invited donations to raise funds for the foundation.
