GAMBLING COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND
In 2009, the Queensland Government's Gambling Community Benefit Fund provided Broadwater Dragons funds to support our club with the essential equipment we require to cater for increasing membership numbers. It also provides us with the resources needed to participate in our "Come and Try" days as well as running our community orientated regattas.
BROADWATER DRAGONS HAVE SUPPORTED-
Cancer Council Australia-
Broadwater Dragons team members competed in the Sanctuary Cove, Gold Coast, Cancer Dragon Boat Challenge Marathon in June 2009- a race over 7.5 kms- which was held to race money for Cancer Council Australia, and to raise the awareness of prostate cancer with men. All team members contributed through race entry fees, and purchasing raffle tickets on the day.
Broadwater Dragons won the Marathon, and donated the winning prize of $500 cash (donated by Hyatt Regency,Sanctuary Cove) as well as the $100 winnings from the "Dash for Cash" event to the Cancer Council Australia.
Red Cross Samoan Disaster Relief Fund-
In October, 2009, the Club hosted a Corporate and Community Dragon Boat Festival on Emerald Lakes, Carrara, with 14 teams and over 350 participants taking part in a seriosly fun and community spirited competition. Due to the Club's Samoan connections, the members of Broadwater Dragons decided to raise funds from the local community to donate to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Appeal. The collection tin was also at the local Bunnings fundraiser Sausage Sizzle the week after the regatta, with a total of $208 collected from both events.
The Club donated in total $500 to the Red Cross Appeal.
