LOCAL ATHLETES SWAP CHEER MATS FOR THE FAIRWAYS IN COMMUNITY FUNDRAISER

Whitsunday Allstars athletes will swap cheer mats for the fairways as the community comes together for a 2-Ball Ambrose Golf Fundraiser at Proserpine Golf Club on Sunday 19th July.

The event aims to raise funds to support local athletes competing at Regional, State, National and International events, helping families manage the growing costs associated with participation in competitive cheerleading.

While competitive cheerleading is often misunderstood, organisers say the sport is one of the most physically demanding team sports young athletes can participate in, requiring a unique combination of strength, flexibility, endurance, skill and trust.

“Competitive cheer combines stunting, tumbling, jumps, dance and choreography, with athletes working together to safely perform complex routines,” organisers said.

“Our athletes train multiple times each week, developing strength, stamina, resilience, flexibility, teamwork and confidence. Every routine relies on trust between teammates and countless hours of practice to perform at their best when they step onto the competition floor.”

As travel, accommodation, uniforms and competition expenses continue to rise, community fundraising plays a vital role in helping athletes access opportunities to compete and progress within the sport.

Whitsunday Allstars Fundraising Inc. would also like to acknowledge and thank major sponsors Tassal and Whitsunday Regional Council for their generous support of the event. Their contribution, along with the support of local businesses and community members, is helping make the fundraiser possible and ensuring more funds can go directly towards supporting local athletes.

The golf day is designed to be a fun and inclusive event, with golfers of all abilities encouraged to participate.

The day will begin with a BBQ breakfast available from 7:15am before an 8:00am shotgun start. Lunch, raffles, a bake sale and novelty competitions will be available throughout the day, with a range of fantastic prizes on offer.

Major raffle prizes include a fishing charter, Club Wyndham accommodation and a number of other great prizes donated by local businesses and supporters.

“We would love to see the community get behind these athletes,” organisers said.

“Whether you register a team, purchase raffle tickets, donate a prize, sponsor the event or simply come along and enjoy the day, every contribution helps local athletes continue chasing their goals.”

Entry is $25 per person, with all funds raised remaining local and supporting Whitsunday athletes.
