The night raised close to $20,000 for Can Assist and Ms Forner said that money would go a long way.
“The money we raised has given us a good boost and it will help us continue to support our local cancer patients,” she said.
“The mall was turned into something very beautiful.
“We have never done anything like that before and we're very proud of ourselves.”
While she thanked all who showed their support, she said there was still much more to do if they were to stay afloat.
“We need to continue fundraising to make sure we stay strong and viable for the cancer patients who we help,” she said.
“We have over 160 people in our care, so while we can’t begin to say how much we appreciate it (the fundraiser money) it's unfortunately not enough.
“We’re looking forward to hopefully doing it again next year and getting the continued support of this great community of ours.”
