An Emerald pub will turn pink in May in support of PA Research Foundation’s breast cancer campaign, fundraising for research.
The Emerald Star Hotel is one of eight Central Queensland hospitality venues to get behind Project Pink, after being unable to hold fundraisers in 2020 due to COVID restrictions.
Creativity will fill the room in Emerald as guests take part in the Sip and Paint fundraising event on Saturday May 1, with PA Research Foundation chief executive officer Damian Topp attending as a guest speaker.
Mr Topp said the organisation was excited to welcome the Project Pink campaign back to Central Queensland as well as in 122 other ALH Group venues across Queensland.
