Broncos star helps Rotary support local youth

The Rotary Club of Noosa Heads is supporting another program of Mentoring through Sport – a program aimed at engaging with school students who are at risk of slipping through the cracks.

The program is coordinated by SunnyKids Inc and Brisbane Broncos, and the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads aims to once again part fund a program at a local school.

Jack Reed, former Broncos and England Rugby League International player, recently caught up with Bob Birkhead from Rotary Club of Noosa Heads to donate a signed Brisbane Broncos jersey for the club to auction.

Jack plays a very significant role in the delivery of the program across areas of South East Queensland.

At the discussion with Bob Birkhead at The Grind on Gympie Terrace, Jack commented on the appreciation of the past support of the program by Rotary and was very appreciative of the planned support in 2021.

“How fantastic is it to see the Rotary Club of Noosa Heads link up with SunnyKids & the Broncos to make a real difference in the lives of young people,“ he said.

The jersey will be auctioned through the Noosa Heads Rotary website www.rotarynoosaheads.org.au with the bids being updated.
