PROCARE TEAMS UP WITH DI PRINZIO CONCRETING WITH THE LAUNCH OF NEW PUMP TRUCK DUBBED "SHAZ".

​

The recent release of “Shaz”, Di Prinzio’s latest pump truck, has come out to an overwhelmingly positive response from the local Newcastle community. Kicking off a slew of public events, Shaz was unveiled during the Newcastle Knights home game against the Roosters on Saturday 1st of May.

​

Named by Di Prinzio driver Aaron Hutch in honor of his recently departed mother, Sharron Hutch, the truck has been covered in a vibrant bright pink wrap and adorned with blue and pink ribbons to raise awareness for Breast and Prostate Cancer.

​

The fundraising efforts of Shaz the pump truck will also see Di Prinzio Concreting providing support to local non-for-profit organisation ProCare in support of their free cancer counselling and mental health services. Funds will also go to cancer research conducted by Newcastle University NSW’s local research team.

​

Local people can expect to see Shaz at local events as she raises funding and awareness in the fight against cancer in our community. Keep an eye out for the hashtag #SHAZ and use it to keep the awareness and fundraising going.
