The Tewantin Noosa Lions Club is a familiar presence at local events, including the recent Noosa Festival of Surfing.
If you were lucky enough to enjoy one of our tasty beef or veggie burgers, you may have wondered where the proceeds from your investment went.
You’ll be pleased to know that all the money raised goes to good causes. In fact, the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club just gave out almost $38,000 in our second funding round for 2022-2023.
The Tewantin Noosa Lions Club continues to be an integral part of our local community.
We are committed to making a positive impact, and our presence at events like the Noosa Festival of Surfing or the Noosa Australia Day Festival are just a couple of ways we strive to achieve this.
The club is made up of volunteers who work tirelessly to raise funds for charitable causes. In fact, all money raised is distributed to worthwhile projects.
The recent distribution of funds is testament to the hard work of Tewantin Noosa Lions Club members.
The money raised has been donated to a range of worthy causes, including major research projects and local community and youth projects.
One major research project that the Lions Club donated to is the Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation.
The foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for childhood cancer and improving the quality of life for children and their families affected by cancer. Our donation supports research into childhood cancer and provides vital resources for families affected by the disease.
Lions is a global organisation dedicated to empowering volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace, and promote international understanding.
However, Lions clubs focus very clearly on their own community and strongly support local community and youth projects.
Local projects recently helped with donations from the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club include the Classy Ladies Christmas Appeal, the Salvation Army homelessness appeal, Katie Rose Hospice, the Noosa Coastguard, the Noosa unit of the SES and the Cooroibah Rural Fire Service.
Youth projects supported this year include the Noosaville and Tewantin State Schools to provide breakfast programs, Youth Insearch (a community organisation that coordinates weekend programs focused on resolving issues at a peer level for young people), the Sailability program at the Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club, as well as Sunny Kids.
Additionally, a donation was made to a young local man to assist with costs in participating in the World Duathlon Championships in Spain (Go Josh!).
Lions Clubs’ contributions to their local communities makes a difference. Club members are passionate about giving back to the community and improving people’s lives. If this sounds like a good thing to you, follow us on Facebook or call Paul on 0409622440 to see how you can be involved and help us in this rewarding work.
We often say that you get more back from being a Lion than you give.
So, the next time you buy a burger or a sausage from the Tewantin Noosa Lions Club, remember that your purchase is supporting a worthy cause. The money raised goes towards making a positive impact in the community, whether it’s through supporting research into childhood cancer or providing resources for local schools, individuals or community organisations.
