Thanks to the incredible support of our donors, we have raised an incredible $585,024 of critical funds for Surf Life Saving. That’s the equivalent of nearly SEVEN lifesaving patrols on our beaches.
As the red and yellow flags go up around our Australian beaches this summer, and our volunteer surf lifesavers patrol our coastline ready to come to our aid when we need their help – know that YOU have helped make this possible.
And as we hear about the thousands of rescues – swimmers saved from a tragic end, people given a second chance at life, somebody’s son, daughter, father, mother, best friend, returned home safely – know that YOU have helped make this possible.
This incredible support will help purchase vital equipment used by our volunteer surf lifesavers when just seconds could be the difference between life and death. It will help train our heroes in red and yellow so they can confidently patrol our beaches and assist our communities during natural disasters like fires and floods. It will help educate the public on critical surf safety information.
And it will help save thousands of precious lives.
To each and every person who donated. Thank you. You can truly call yourself a lifesaver.
