Another Successful Awareness Day

SOSUNS had a very successful Awareness Day at Chatswood Shopping Centre on 4th February.  Our first one of the year.  We had a lot of athletes and parents come a long to help which was fantastic.  Some new faces too, which is always lovely to see.  Everyone had alot of fun and in the process raised $1,425.75.  A brilliant result!

Thankyou to all the wonderful athletes and parents who came to help.  Without the charm of our SOSUNS athletes these days would not be the success that they are.

Fundraising Manager, Annette Dearing has organised another Awareness Day on 10th March at St Ives Village Shopping Centre.  We hope to see a great roll up of athletes on this day too and see if we can better the amount raised at Chatswood.  The challenge is on!
