Storage King Melton is turning pink throughout October as it plays its part in raising funds for the annual McGrath Foundation fundraiser.

Store manager Sally Gardner said Melton was proud to join locations nationwide in raising funds for the foundation’s work in providing breast cancer nurses to areas that are in need.

“Storage King has a close relationship with the McGrath Foundation who do such great work with breast cancer nurses and families living with cancer,” she said.

“We’ve been doing this for years, every October every store in Australia gets behind this cause.”

The Melton store has a variety of items for sale to go towards the work of the McGrath Foudation, as well as donating $1 from the sale of every tea chest box.

Given cancer has such wide-ranging impacts across all ages, Ms Gardner said everyone has a part to play in the response.

“Everyone’s been touched by cancer at some time in their life,” she said.

“Whether it’s a friend or a family member, and McGrath Foundation provide such a good support network for families and help out with the nurses.”

Storage King Melton will be raising funds for the foundation until the end of the month.
