THE Frankston RSL has awarded a total of $250,000 to 45 different local community groups.
The RSL hosted its second Community Support Giving Day event last week, where it handed out the cash.
Brett Rowlands, general manager of Frankston RSL said “our commitment to the community is best explained through our community support program. As a proud community hub, Frankston RSL actively supports local initiatives, contributing over $250,000 annually in supporting 25 plus local sporting groups and over 30 not-for-profit groups.”
“Frankston RSL is in a unique position to help connect the Frankston community. The objective of Giving Day is to bring all the recipients of our Community Support Fund together and celebrate the relationship we have with each of our recipients,” he said. “In addition, it is an opportunity to showcase the wide array of services that we as a venue, and the community groups and organisations, offer the community. The Annual Community Support Giving Day provides an enviable opportunity for recipients to network in an informal setting and work towards building deeper relationships, form new partnerships, meet new individuals and committees, as well as enable the continued growth of our great community network.”
Team Sports 4 All joined the Community Support Fund recipients this year. Shea Watts and Cindy Smith from the organisation said that they “look forward to networking with the many local sporting clubs and connecting financially disadvantaged boys and girls, and their families, into their local sporting communities using the power of team sport.”
