Donations, Sponsorship and Fundraising

Cooks Hill SLSC relies heavily on our sponsors and generous donations. Without our sponsors and donors, we would not be able to offer as many programs to the Newcastle community as we do.

Donations

We welcome donations and other generous contributions that help the club be as successful as it is in providing a safe and healthy environment for our members and the public. There are always the ongoing requirements to secure Lifesaving and training equipment, from basic first aid supplies, a $30 oxygen bottle, a $3,000 defibrillator and to more major requirements including Inflatable Rescue Boats (IRB’s). The club also has ongoing equipment and building maintenance requirements that may suit an in-kind donation, as does the staging and logistics requirements of surf carnivals.

If you would like to make a donation to Cooks Hill SLSC, you can do so via the SLS Hub: click here 

Please ensure you select  – Cooks Hill SLSC –  as the entity to pay, and put your name and donation as the meaningful payment. If you would like a Tax Receipt, please email treasurer@cookshillsurfclub.com.au and we will be able to forward one onto you.

If you would like your donation to go to a particular section within the club, please do advise the Treasurer, and we will ensure its allocated correctly.

Sponsorship

Our sponsors are the lifeblood of our club. Their generous financial support makes our job of providing a safe and healthy environment for our Members and the public much easier.

As a not for profit, volunteer based organisation, our primary sources of income are from the generous contributions of our sponsors and supporters. With Cooks Hill LS & SC now over 100 years strong and with our proud record of “no lives lost whilst our volunteer lifesavers are on patrol”, our sponsors are proud to be associated with us.

We understand that each business person or corporation has different perspectives on sponsorship spending.  At Cook’s Hill LS & SC, we will always endeavour to give back to those who give to us.

Our sponsors help us:

• Maintain our proud lifesaving record;
• Equip patrols with required lifesaving education, training and equipment;
• Encourage and facilitate healthy and balanced competitive participation;
• Create an environment that sparks a passion for community service and team participation within the ranks of our junior members;
• Assist our younger members to build skills that are transferable to other parts of their lives.
