LAST weekend was a busy one in Noosa – along with dozens of Sunshine Beach SLSC cadets volunteering as water safety patrol for the Noosa Triathlon, it was the annual Surf Lifesaving ‘Tin Shake’.
Every year clubs from all around the country ask for donations from the public in order to raise additional funds to help purchase much-needed equipment and train future volunteer lifesavers.
As part of this initiative, Sunshine Beach’s junior club members (Nippers) hit the local shopping centres at Sunshine Beach and Noosa Junction asking for assistance from the public.
A total of more than $2500 was raised for Sunshine Beach SLSC by the Nippers from generous locals who couldn’t resist putting a few coins or notes into the tins which were capably rattled by a large number of Sunshine Beach Surf Lifesaving club volunteers over a two-day period.
A big thanks to all club members who volunteered a few hours of their time – this community spirit is what keeps clubs like Sunshine Beach SLSC viable with all lifesaving patrols also being done on a volunteer basis by cadets and active members
Sunshine Beach is also accepting donations from any other interested locals or businesses, so if you’d like to offer your support please contact Dave Gleeson, club sponsorship officer at sponsor@sunshinebeachslsc.com.au for more information.
