The Home Hill – Ayr Lions Club has recently donated much-needed funds to four charities: three within the Burdekin and the other to the Leukaemia Foundation.
A cheque for $500 was presented to the organiser of the event ‘Swim for a Cure’, Deni Caspanello, in support of the event run at the Home Hill Swimming Pool. The Lions Club cooked and sold the food for this event (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and the proceeds from this, along with the money that the ‘Swim for a Cure’ raised was donated to the Leukaemia Foundation in Townsville.
Acknowledging that the Christmas period would be difficult for many Burdekin families, the club decided at their final meeting for the year to donate to three charities that support families more than ever at this time. The club donated $1,000 to St Vincent de Paul Home Hill. This money will be used to support less fortunate people in Home Hill, either by providing hampers for Christmas or assisting families with hardships when getting children ready for the school year. Similarly, $1,000.00 was donated to the Burdekin Community Association to assist them on carrying out the important work that they do and hopefully take some pressure of struggling families at this time of year.
The Club also donated $500 to the local “Meals on Wheels”. This money was used to provide treats for their clients over the Christmas period.
The money donated to these organisations was raised by The Home Hill - Ayr Lions Club through fundraising events run throughout the Burdekin district. The club is very grateful to the public for the support they give the club over the many months it took to raise these funds.
