FEATURING

EVENTS FOR A CAUSE

Charity Duck Race

COMMUNITY CAUSES: All the ducks were lined up in a row to see who would be the first one to the finish line. It was a great community day and event organised by the Rotary club of Burleigh Heads and helped by many other community organisations and supporters. These included the very enthusiastic Kokoda Youth Challenge kids herding the ducks, Currumbin RSL hosting the event outside its premises, local councillors, and everyone that sponsored a duck.

Our purpose is to relieve medical hardship caused by illness, injury or disability while supporting the incredible patient care provided by Gold Coast Health medical professionals.

Enriching Lives Foundation

A student sponsor program that has a direct impact on wellbeing via education.

Enriching Lives Foundation is a non profit organisation whose purpose is to increase the engagement of young people with education by assisting to fund their journey and make a lasting impression on their lives.

Our foundational project is Sponsor A Student, collaborating and partnering with individuals, families, businesses, communities and other altruistic entities, to assist individual students needing financial support. Education is a fundamental human right for all children. The reasons why children and youth do not attend school are multiple and complex, and our aim is to eliminate as far as possible, the financial constraints which, of themselves, may be barriers to school attendance, but also frequently contribute to other multi-faceted impediments.
