Freemasons raise $100k for trust

[jason]

A HUNDRED thousand dollars is a big ask for a country service club, even if it has a big organisation behind it.
Coffs Coast Freemasons took on the job of raising $100,000 to launch the CanDo Cancer Trust and stuck to the task of two years to do it.
On Friday, Freemasons Norm Standing, Geoff Greenaway and Brian Freakley were on hand to accept a certificate of appreciation from the North Coast Cancer Institute and see the hard work begin to yield results.
Four patients have already been assisted by the Trust.
Mr Standing is the past chairman of the Coffs Coast Freemasons Association, Mr Greenaway is the current chairman and Mr Freakley was the Freemason who said it was possible.
“It was a fairly enthusiastic idea from Brian and Norm,” Mr Greenaway said. “Brian comes from a background of hard charity work and he assured us we could raise that sort of funds – which was unheard of in our circles.
