Bero Bowlo Bogan Bingo will kick off the city’s Cancer Council fundraising campaign with air guitar and best-dressed competitions as well as other classless activities.
Maitland Relay for Life organiser Yvette Cavanagh said the night would poke fun at the mullets and double-pluggers everyone has hidden in their family photo album.
“There’s a bit of bogan in everyone,” Ms Cavanagh said.
“Especially those of us from Maitland,” she added with a laugh.
Ms Cavanagh, who was chair of Maitland Relay for Life for six years, said it was important to have fun and look for new ways to engage the public with fundraising campaigns.
“It’s great fun for Relay,” she said.
Relay for Life will be held at its new home at Marcellin Park this year while Maitland Sportsground is upgraded.
Tickets to the event are being sold at Reading Cinema Maitland and cost $30.
Or contact Yvette at Reading Cinemas on 4934 2240 or email yvette.cavanagh@readingcinemas.com.au
The event will be held on July 2 at Beresfield Bowling Club and Maitland Relay for Life will be held on September 10.
