2009 SportzCare ACT Golf Day - December 2009

The 2009 SportzCare ACT Golf Day has been run and won with a good day had by all who attended. We were encouraged to have raised over $1,000 from the golf on the day and follow up auctions. This will help pay for services offered by SportzCare, like the Suicide Awareness course run at Queanbeyan Race Course earlier this year (see below)

Thanks to all who participated on the day and for our hosts, Gungahlin Lakes golf course - we hope to do it again in 2010!

SportzCare ACT would also like to thank those who generously donated items for prizes and auctions on the day - including Thoroughbred Park, the Canberra Raiders, ACT Brumbies and Nick Olive Racing.

 

Suicide Awareness - Queanbeyan Race Course

In late 2009 SportzCare ACT was able to provide a seminar on suicide awareness for members and other guests of the Queanbeyan Race Course. This was a valuable time for all who made it along to help get better equipped for recognising and dealing with signs of suicide.

Thanks to Queanbeyan Race Course for providing the venue and food for the day - and thanks to all those who made it along to such an important session.



Life Skills Seminar - November 2008

SportzCare ACT has been at it again... Another seminar was offered to a local sporting community recently to help equip them for the future. This course was a broad Life Skills seminar; covering off the topics of Relationships, Alcohol Education, Money Management, Professionalism and the Spiritual dimension.

With the support of our sponsor, Thoroughbred Park, the event was held at the racecourse and provided some valuable insights for all who attended. A snapshot of the day can be seen below, with guest presenter Phil Small giving some media tips. Many thanks to all our presenters...

 

SAFETalk - Practical Training in Suicide Intervention:

A new chapter was written in the history of SportzCare as people gathered to take part in a practical training seminar. Titled, 'Suicide Awareness For Everyone', the morning was aimed at giving people an awareness of issues surrounding suicide and some critical steps to assist in times of need.

A number of people from the local sports community attended the event and gained valuable training. SportzCare ACT hopes to run a number of similar seminars over time that will provide a range of practical skills. Our thanks to the OzHelp Foundation for running the training... it's great there are now more people equipped in Canberra sport to help deal with this great need.

 

2008 Promotional Campaign:

To launch 2008, SportzCare ACT commissioned the printing of more than 5,000 promotional brochures! These materials have now been printed and are ready for distribution. Over the coming months, we hope to get around to many sporting organisations/teams around the ACT to hand out some brochures. You may also spot them in sports clubs or other places around Canberra. If you could arrange a time for us to come and present SportzCare's services and give out brochures to your team/club, we'd love to hear from you!
