Ōrewa Lions Club recently handed over a substantial donation to support the Ōrewa Surf Lifesaving Club’s redevelopment project, at the same time challenging other community service groups to match it.
The $20,000 raised by Lions represented the proceeds from the sale of this year’s calendar, the Big Dig and numerous sausage sizzles. It was handed over on Sunday, June 16 at the surf club.
Lions president Wendy Miller said that numerous hours and volunteer skills were involved in grassroots fundraising to achieve this donation.
“This contribution reflects a strong commitment from our group to enriching community life and ensuring a safer, more connected environment for all,” she said. “The planned building will not only improve facilities for surf lifesaving but also create a space for the entire community to enjoy. Ōrewa Lions Club members are proud to support this important community asset. We challenge other community service groups in the area to match our donation to this very worthwhile cause.”
Ōrewa Surf’s redevelopment committee chair, John Chapman, said the generous donation would have a lasting impact, benefiting residents and visitors alike for years to come.
