EACH year, Shoal Bay Country Club (SBCC) collects $10 from its members and chooses two charities to donate all of the money to.

Along with ongoing support for local sporting groups such as the Fingal Bay Bomboras, plus recently hosting a charity event for COPSY, SBCC also donates 100 percent of membership fees to local charities each year.

Peter Lazarus, Director, Shoal Bay Country Club told News Of The Area, “It is extremely important for us to connect with our locals and support the community as much as possible.

“In 2021, thanks to our members, we raised a huge $8000 that we can give back to the local community.”

The chosen charities this year are PCYC Port Stephens and the Fingal Bay Surf Life Saving Club Starfish Nippers Program.

“Children are our future and this year we have chosen to donate to two wonderful organisations that work directly with local kids.”

PCYC runs a number of programs to support young people and give them practical skills to thrive in life.

The Fingal Beach SLSC Starfish Nippers Program is an adapted nippers program for children with special needs.

The Starfish Nippers Program is run by volunteers.

“The donation ensures they have new equipment to allow them to learn water safety which is so important for all kids living on the coast,” Lazarus said.
