The Rock - Partnering the fight against cancer

The Rock Building Society is proud to be a Cancer Council Queensland Corporate Partner and to play a small role in the fight against the disease.

The Rock is committed to giving back to the community in which we live and do business, and our Cancer Council alliance is just one way we are putting our pledge into practice.

As such, The Rock will assist in constructing the new Rockhampton Cancer Education and Support Centre, having committed $150,000 to the project. In addition, The Rock will provide in-kind support including representation on the Cancer Centre Fundraising Committee.

In recognition of The Rock’s commitment, the new centre will be known as The Rock Cancer Education and Support Centre.
