Our commitment to support individuals, reaching the peak of their sport, has seen development of youth instilling confidence and in turn, they become role models for others.
The selfless efforts of providing funds and support to individuals and clubs without demanding a set return from any group or individual, ensures that we can support these people in our local area.
The only voluntary request we place is a photograph or certificate so we can display to the general community what our Club is about and highlight to the community the achievements of special sporting individuals/groups. Many of these groups/individuals would not realise their dreams/goals if our support was not given.
The Club has been proud to provide, just in the last few years help to send children overseas, both boys and girls to compete in soccer and other children, once again both boys and girls, to interstate competitions and championships in soccer, swimming, cricket and ten-pin bowling. On their return, we are regularly supplied with photos, letters of thanks and results of how their competition went. We are delighted when receiving this correspondence and have an appreciation wall in our Club where we proudly display letters and photos, regularly having to update as more come in. Seeing and helping young people strive toward their dreams is the ultimate result for the Para Hills Community Club knowing without our financial help they may not have got this opportunity and experience.
As well as sponsoring individuals, the Club has been able to help many local Sporting Clubs. We have been able to provide financial support and sponsorship for soccer, football, cricket, bowling, pigeon racing, dragon boat racing, netball, little athletics, marching gymnastics and golf which helps them provide better facilities for their club and helping their players achieve the best of their ability while also lifting the financial burden indirectly to families by registration fees not having to cover these extra costs. Helping Sporting Clubs with the equipment they require also has an impact on the whole community as keeping children busy and active with sports is often a positive way of heading them in the right direction to becoming responsible young adults and not loitering the streets with nothing to do.
