Copic Girls Night In Update


For those of you in the papercraft community who have been following the journey of fellow blogger and talented papercrafter – Katie Renz, today is indeed a very sad day as we share in the loss of Katie, who passed away this morning. Our thoughts and sympathy are with her young family and friends.

So many precious lives are lost each year to cancer which is why Copic Australia chose to support Girls Night (an initiative of the Cancer Council) in 2011. We are pleased that with the support of our Copic retailers and the loyal colouring community, we have so far raised over $10,000.00. We are still waiting on a few final collections (so if you have not sent your forms and collections back please do asap). We once again want to thank you all for your support of this worthy cause which touches the lives of so many.

In honour of Katie (and all of those strong and courageous woman who have battled Cancer) Copic Australia is will be adding to our tally by donating an additional $1,000.00 to Girls Night In.

  1. I must admit I haven't been following but would like to offer my heartfelt condolences to her family and friends and the Copic Community.

    Thanks to you all for raising this money toward the research for Cancer - losing a parent is not easy but knowing others might not because of what they may have learnt and will learn from funds raised for research does, make a huge difference.
