Last Thursday the Whitsunday Cruisin Car Club donated a cheque of $2000 to the Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network (WSPN).
During Whitsunday Cruisin Car Club’s annual Show and Shine car show they raised money for both the Whitsunday Suicide Prevention Network and Jure Portelli a local girl involved in motor sport.
President of Whitsunday Cruisin Car Club Sebastian Foti says it’s important to support worthwhile causes in our community, especially through these tough times.
“Anything that we can do to help others is part of our club’s way of giving back to the community that supports us with the car show that we had running at the end of May,” said Sebastian.
Money was raised through raffle tickets for prizes and gold coin donations.
WSPN President Matt Stokes said he is thrilled with the donation.
“It is so refreshing when the community supports us, because then we can re-support the community, it is a circle, and for them to proactively approach us means a lot too,” said Matt.
“We work really hard ourselves to raise money for what we need to do within the community, but these guys are basically another set of arms and legs, and I hope they understand just how much the finances do mean.”
Going forward Matt and the rest of WSPN have a goal of creating a community hub where people can receive contact information, meet a friendly face and more.
