A South West car club has donated to a cancer care organisation in honour of a lifetime member who died late last year.

The Radiators Street Rod and Custom Club presented Solaris Cancer Care — a service that helped lifetime member Arnold ‘Arnie’ Casagrande when he was battling illness — with a donation of $1000.

Club president David Gaunt said Arnie was a great friend and it was important for the club to support a service that helped him and his family.

“We’re grateful for what Solaris did for Arnie,” Mr Gaunt said.

“Hopefully this $1000 can help you to do great things down here for others.”
