Jon BassettWestern Suburbs Weekly

MOSMAN Park shoppers can lay claim to being the most generous in WA after they donated the greatest amount to kids’ cancer charity Redkite at their Coles supermarket during Christmas.

Redkite head of fundraising Isobel Lindley said  the suburb’s shoppers raised more than $9500  by buying a $2 Christmas card during the five-week campaign.

“I think the significant amount was because it was a children’s cancer charity,” Mosman Park Coles manager Will Henry said.
