A Pink Picnic held at Victoria Point in October has raised $16,100 that has been donated to Chicks in Pink to raise awareness for breast cancer.

Attended by 200 people, the event was organised by Clancy Follett-McDonald of the art group Creative Express and held in conjunction with Victoria Point state school's P & C.

Ms Follett-McDonald said “To me, the best part of the day was seeing a community come together. People just came and pitched in. I was overwhelmed by the community spirit and support.”

The theme for the picnic was wearable and usable art, with women creating necklaces, cards, bags and wall art.
