The Eumundi Dragons have thrown their support behind Aussie farmers doing it tough through the drought.
The junior rugby union club not only provides safe family oriented rugby experiences for players it also raises awareness with our boys and girls that everyone needs a helping help sometimes.
With this in mind the four-team strong hinterland-based club voted that $1,000 from the weekend’s home game canteen takings would go towards helping the community.
“Because all of us need from time to time support to deal with some of the hardships that life throws up at us,“ Doug Toms said.
The Dragons’ family and members of 12 visiting teams were easily able to raise the target amount over a six hour period from 8am to 2pm for the Buy a Bale charity.
“It was truly a fantastic effort by all concerned and just goes to show the level of support the Dragons’ initiative was able to generate within its membership and the wider Sunshine Coast Junior Rugby Union community,“ Mr Toms said.
“In this small way we hope to show support for Australian farmers who are having to deal with the impact the severe drought, ravaging most of NSW and over half of Queensland, is having on our rural families at the present time.
“All who were involved are grateful that even though we on the Sunshine Coast can still enjoy playing on green fields, this is not the case for our country cousins.“
