THE Laurieton Hotel Stingrays will host their annual Charity Day at Stingray Stadium on Saturday, 7 June.
This special event will feature a ‘Double Header’ of league action, starting with the Kendall Blues facing off against the Long Flat Dragons at 1:30pm.
The Laurieton Hotel Stingrays will then take on the Beechwood Shamrocks from 3:30 pm.
This year’s event will support a cause close to many hearts in Camden Haven, with funds going towards the recovery of Stingrays favourite Luke Begnell.
An accident earlier this year left Luke with severe injuries that require extensive medical treatment and ongoing surgeries.
While Luke’s road to recovery will be a challenging one for the whole Begnell family, they have generously requested that the day also support Ronald McDonald House (RMH) in Newcastle.
This charity has been a source of invaluable support for the Begnell family, not only during Luke’s current situation but in the past when their daughter needed multiple surgeries for a cleft palate.
The day will conclude with a charity jersey auction taking place at the Laurieton Hotel starting at 7pm.
Stingrays spokesperson Logan Marshall encouraged the community to support the day.
“This is what the Camden Haven is all about, pulling together when a mate is in need,” he said.
“We are hoping this day can help to make a positive impact.
“So get down to Laurieton oval for two great games of footy and get behind this cause.
“Let’s raise some good money for Luke and the Ronald McDonald house.”
