THE Kendall Blues RLFC is gearing up to launch a heartwarming new initiative called “Bikes For Kids” at its annual charity day on Saturday, 16 August.
This project aims to provide brand-new bicycles to local families in need.
“We’re partnering with the incredible teams at Aussie Battlers in Laurieton and The Salvation Army Port Macquarie to raise money to buy brand-new bicycles for local children facing hardship this Christmas,” the club said in a statement.
Blues Vice President Troy Taylor said many local families are doing it tough.
“We are incredibly proud and humbled to have this opportunity to support our neighbours and make a real difference for local kids.”
The charity day promises a day full of excitement, including a double-header of rugby league action at Kendall Showground.
Kicking off at 12:30pm the Laurieton Hotel Stingrays will face off against Long Flat.
The main event follows at 3:00pm, with the Kendall Blues going head-to-head with the Comboyne Tigers.
The Blues have extended their gratitude to the Stingrays for their generosity in relocating their home game to Kendall in support of the charity event.
The festivities will then continue at the Royal Hotel Kew with a charity auction.
Prizes include a custom Kendall Blues surfboard and fire pit, game-worn Blues jerseys, and signed NRL memorabilia.
The club is still accepting donations and auction items.
“Whether it’s a voucher from your business or a valuable item gathering dust in the shed, every little bit helps,” Troy added.
For those interested in getting involved or making a donation, contact Peter on 0412 813 200 or via email at kendallbluesoldboys@gmail.com.
