Published Tuesday, 23rd September 2025
The Wanneroo Town Centre will turn pink this October to raise awareness and support for the vital work done by McGrath Foundation Cancer Care Nurses.
Wanneroo Mayor Linda Aitken said the was proud to see the City embracing the important cause.
“Since 2005, the McGrath Foundation has supported over 161,000 families as they go through cancer treatment,” she said.
“Around one in two people in Australia will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, so the need for McGrath Cancer Care Nurses is greater than ever.
“We’re proud to be taking part in the Pink Up Your Town initiative to raise awareness and to help ensure that no one misses out on care.”
From its streets to its Council Meetings, the Wanneroo Town Centre will be pretty in pink throughout October, with plenty of fun, family-friendly events and activities for all to enjoy.
The community are encouraged to get involved by attending a morning tea, taking part in the special kids activities, enjoying the decorations or spotting the elusive pink waste truck as it makes its way around the City!
