The Manly Warringah Waratahs have raised crucial funds for local charities, through participation in the recent Beach2Beach fun run.
69 members of the Waratahs community, comprising both the mens and womens playing group, volunteers, board members and sponsors ran the 13km, 6km and 3km events, so far raising more than $4,500 for the Burdekin Association.
Burdekin provide much needed support to homeless youth on the Northern Beaches, through a range of programs that help develop healthy relationships, establish goals to secure education or career pathways, as well as providing stable accommodation.
With 69 people as part of the Waratahs team, the Tah’s had the highest number of entries for a not-for-profit team. This meant that the Tah’s won an additional $2,000 for charity, which will be donated to another one of our charity partners, Happy Days.
Started by club legend and life member Mike Pawley, Happy Days aims to raise funds for young girls in Cambodia to attend High School and University.
Congratulations to all who participated in the event and raised crucial funds for both the Burdekin Association and Happy Days.
