Charity
Dinners Summary |
|
Over the last few years, the Club has organised several
fundraising Charity Dinners featuring well known sporting personalities. The
common denominator in all these events is that Kevyn Moore has been the
inspirational leader of the organising committees.
The Charity Dinners organised by Kevyn and the
Club have been responsible for raising
$228,000
for local charity trusts.
A number of these have raised funds to build the Kel
Tremain Memorial Education Trust funds to a level where significant income is
derived so that a number of awards can be made each year to deserving
applicants.
