Southport Sharks are excited to re-introduce our Community Benefits Fund in 2023.
With community being at our core, we are proud to be doing our part in the Gold Coast community with your help.
A new year means new partners, and we are excited to introduce our new charity partner Macleods Refuge.
Macleods Refuge are a local, Gold Coast not-for-profit organisation that has been providing emergency refuge accommodation that is safe, supportive, and welcoming for women and children escaping from family violence since 1992.
This Christmas there is no better time to kick off this partnership. We will be taking donations in our foyer from Thursday 1 December until Wednesday 14 December. Donations must be unwrapped gifts such as; new toys, gift cards, or anything that may be suitable for teenagers. All donations will go to Macleods Refuge and the families they are assisting.
We look forward to seeing this partnership benefit many families.
