DONATIONS & COMMUNITYInline with its charter, the Club exists to provide benefit to Rugby League while also embracing a broader community responsibility. In addition to providing support to local community groups, the Club believes that community service also encompasses ensuring that its operations take into consideration the impact both socially and environmentally on the community. CLUB GIVES $25,000 TO NORTH QUEENSLAND COMMUNITY
Eighteen North Queensland organisations, clubs and individuals have benefited from the Cowboys Leagues Club’s annual community program, the Cowboys Community Benefit Fund, this year.
The program, which provides a considerable source of funding for numerous not-for-profit organisations and individuals in the North Queensland community, this year has donated $25,000 to worthy recipients throughout the region.
Cowboys Leagues Club ambassador and Toyota Cowboys fullback Matthew Bowen joined with Leagues Club general manager Clint Williams to announced the 2011 recipients at a function at the Cowboys Leagues Club in August.
Funding is given to projects that provide a community benefit to the local region and the program also rewards educational excellence via bursaries for students.
The fund was first implemented by the club last year and it has again received a great response from organisations and students throughout the region.
“The club has always been proud to be a 100% community-owned club, and this program furthers our commitment to supporting the community who support us,” Mr Williams said.
“It is a fantastic opportunity for deserving organisations and individuals to complete projects for which they may not have been able to do so otherwise.
“We have a wide variety of clubs and organisations who will receive funding this year and we look forward to seeing the end results of the work this money will help fund.”
The Community Benefit Fund is split into two categories, with $20,000 worth of grants going to eligible not-for-profit organisations who can demonstrate that their projects will deliver real community benefits to the people of North Queensland, and a further $5000 as educational awards for full time students.
All applications for grants were considered by an independent judging panel of eight members from across the community.
Among the projects to benefit this year include:
A computer room for children and parents at the Headstart Kindergarten and Pre-School;
Training equipment for juniors and seniors at Brothers Cricket Club in Townsville;
Computers for Rossville State School
A digital weight gauge for the forklift at Food Relief NQ;
A junior touch development camp for the Atherton Tableland Touch Association;
A cutting clinic for the Julia Creek Western Riding Club.
Full details on the successful projects and individuals are available from the Cowboys Leagues Club.
“We look forward to continuing this highly successful and rewarding program again next year,” Mr Williams said.
