💥 Winning Wednesday 💥

Tonight Lauris and Billi from The Donovan Effect had the pleasure of presenting the team from All Ability Sports Coaching with a cheque for $1000 from our recent event! It was great to be able to give back to another local initiative on top of a donation to CPA and being able to fund a clinic for people with disabilities to try rugby league.
This money will be used for a variety of things to enhance participants experience. We can’t wait to work with Toby and the team in the future some of these superstars even already knew Lakes United Seagulls RLFC victory song!

“ to build community we have to involve community “
Stronger together.
Big love loz 💚
