Legends of Surfing Long Lunch
September 23, 2022 @ 12:00 pm
With special guest Shaun Tomson.
The Board Meeting was started by a group of surfers looking to help Sunshine Coast kids with disabilities through a variety of surf-related events. Run completely by a dedicated group of volunteers and supported by the local business and surfing communities, the charity raises much-needed funds for families who have fallen through the cracks of Government support, are doing it extremely tough financially and have children with needs those of us with healthy kids could hardly fathom.
Principally, the Board Meeting assists local* families with severely disabled children. All requests for funding are required to come via the child’s medical practitioner, occupational therapist or professional care worker outlining the need for funding and how the goods or services being supplied will assist the child.
We also run special programs for kids with mental disabilities that include learning, physical fitness, surfing, yoga and art.
Through our Guardian Program we also link non-surfing benefactors with families in desperate need of respite.
Demo week at Casey’s place kicked off with help from Casey’s grandparents Mel & Clinton as well as Rob Wilson & his son Matt.
Another iPad delivered today as part of our Communication for Kids program sponsored by the great team at Mooloolaba Rotary.
This week we helped a single mum of 6 with repairs to her old Landrover Discovery.
