Pink, Purpose and Community Spirit Shine at Tannum Sands Mother’s Day Classic

The Tannum Sands foreshore was awash with pink on Sunday as the community came together for the 16th annual Mother’s Day Classic at the Millennium Esplanade. Part of a nationwide series of fun runs and walks held at over 90 locations, the event supports life-saving research into breast and ovarian cancer.

Since its inception in 1998, the Mother’s Day Classic has raised $46.1 million for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. In 2024, the event broadened its mission to include support for ovarian cancer research, already raising $1.2 million for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.
