Progress For A Cause

A giant garage sale has led to a very generous donation.

The Sarina Beach Progress Association donated to the Mackay region’s valuable aeromedical service, RACQ CQ Rescue, from funds made during its Giant Garage Sales.

Fran Lloyd from the Progress Association said it’s important to support this community-funded rescue service.

“For our small community, with boaties, fishermen and women, and swimmers, you never know when you may need them,” Fran said.

“Two of the amazing staff of RACQ CQ Rescue, Zenta and Rona, showed us around the eye-opening facility, sleeping quarters, doctor’s rooms and even a gym. But the helicopter took the cake, what a beauty.

“If you make a donation to this service, 100 per cent of your donation helps to save lives across Central Queensland, 24/7, 365 days of the year.”
