RBWH Foundation 5km Blue Run

RBWH FOUNDATION 5KM BLUE RUN - supporting prostate cancer research.

A fantastic example of community partnerships making a meaningful difference!

As part of a shared commitment to building stronger, healthier communities, YFG Shopping Centres generously gifted the naming rights partnership for the Bridge to Brisbane 5km Fun Run to the Royal Brisbane & Women's Hospital Foundation (RBWH).

This partnership created a wonderful opportunity to shine a spotlight on men’s health and prostate cancer research, and the Retail First team was proud to get behind the initiative, with staff from across our portfolio lacing up their running shoes to support the cause.

YFG Shopping Centres has been a longstanding supporter of groundbreaking prostate cancer research at the RBWH, helping advance early detection, more targeted treatments, and the development of a more accurate, non-invasive test. This important research is already contributing to better treatment and outcomes for men diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Beyond raising vital funds, the event sparked thousands of potentially life-saving conversations, encouraging the men in our lives to prioritise their health and take action.  

A special acknowledgement to Lisa Smith, Retail First’s Senior Marketing Manager at Sunnybank Plaza, whose dedication, hard work, and years of building strong relationships on behalf of YFG Shopping Centres have been instrumental in bringing this partnership to life. A wonderful achievement, Lisa, and a great example of the value of long-term relationships and community collaboration.

At Retail First, we are proud to work alongside YFG Shopping Centres to support initiatives that deliver real and lasting benefits to our communities. Seeing our people embrace this cause is another wonderful example of our Community Focused and Better Together values in action.

A great partnership, a great cause, and a fantastic team effort!
