The Whitsunday Lions Club has generously donated $2,500 to support a junior sailing camp hosted at the Whitsunday Sailing Club in Airlie Beach. This contribution will help purchase essential items such as rudders, centreboards, sails, and flags.
As a non-political service organisation, the Whitsunday Lions Club fosters leadership and networking among its members.
The club actively supports local fundraising initiatives for community projects, builds parks and venues, and provides disaster relief. Additionally, Lions Australia contributes to medical research, making a meaningful impact both locally and globally through dedicated service and compassion.
The Lions Club also run the markets down in Airlie Beach and the majority of the money from the markets is donated back into the community.
Last year the Lions Club donated around $90,000 to the community. Alongside the markets, the Lions Club also hosted a charity golf day to which they raised $12,000 that went to the hospital.
Sue Gravelle from the Whitsunday Lions Club said:
“We like to support kids and the community, we do a lot of work with all the schools in the area, we do school bursaries and we support them with Opti-Minds, anything that involves kids getting to places or needing assistance.”
