The Swampies Social Golf Club, also known as the Swampies, donated $5,000 to Coast Shelter at a special presentation at Everglades Country Club on July 8.
Service Evolution Manager of Coast Shelter, Kyleigh Holland-Quinn, was on hand to accept the cheque from Swampies president Rod Blake.
Also in attendance were 26 members of the Swampies who heard from Holland-Quinn about the work the charity does in the local area.
“Thank you, Swampies Social Golf Club, for choosing to support Coast Shelter,” she said.
“This donation will help us to support more Coasties experiencing or at risk of homelessness, or family and domestic violence.
“It takes a village”
Blake said the Swampies were pleased to help and praised the work Coast Shelter did in times of need for the local community.
“The Swampies have a proud history of donations and assistance that has continued over many years,” he said.
“In fact, over the past 25 years or so, the Swampies have donated more than $32,000 to local causes, most of which has been donations to the Children’s Ward at Gosford Hospital and the Cancer Ward.”
