The event, attended by about 45 people, was hosted by Independent PartyLite Candle Consultant Janelle Eastburn and raised $1009.90 for the charity.
“I initially started off thinking that if I got 20 people and raised $500 I’d be happy and we had double the people and raised double the amount,” Ms Eastburn said.
She said with some many families having a loved one affected by cancer, the Cancer Council is a charity people were willing to support.
Ten per cent of everything sold on the night was donated to the cause, as well as money raised from raffles held on the night and before the event.
“It’s really nice to be able to put the money back into The Cancer Council,” Ms Eastburn said.
