THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO VIEW OUR
PRESENTATION
We are all very lucky to live on the beautiful Central
Coast
But each year the Central Coast
loses some of their most
valuable possessions
No, it’s not our beachesor our rainforests
nor is it our carsour houses or our way of
life.
It’s our YOUNG PEOPLE
Over the last 6 years on the Central Coast 33 young people
have taken their own lives
In fact in Australia we lost more than 2800 young people aged
between 15 and 24 in the same period
Sadly we can’t turn back the clock
But the thing is, this doesn't have to
happen
If we can help these young people early enough
we can reduce the number of kids that make this fatal decision
So in 2011our club
decided to do something about it
The Club launched a program called
SaveOur
Kids from
Suicide
In 2012 we contributed $15,000 to Lifeline to support an awareness
program in schoolsfor Youth Suicide Prevention
This involves teaching year 11 students, their parents, and
teachers to identify other young people who may be contemplating
taking their own lives
This program will also help reduce the incidence of bullying, both
physically and online, which is one of the main causes for the loss of
self esteem in young people.
This was a good start
so now we’ve decided to get serious.
But for us to make a real impact on saving these kids
We need the help of the greater community
So we have formed the
G.N.R. (Gosford North Rotary)
Benefactors Club
We have different levels of annual membership ranging
from
$500To
$10,000
What will you receive if you join us?
Depending on the level of your sponsorship, you will be given
* A prestigious plaque * Tickets to the Benefactors & Beneficiaries
Dinner * Advertising on the Club Website and
Bulletin* Address our members on your business at
one of our club meetings* Your contribution will be highlighted at the B & B dinner
With your support we hope to not only continue to help young
people in trouble, but to reward other young adults to achieve
greater heights. These can include:
* Scholarships*Youth awards
*Training camps* Mentoring
So now you have the choice as to which program you wish to
support.
But mainly you’ll get the satisfaction of helping save the
lives of kids on the Central Coast
Towards the end of the financial year we will hold the GNR Benefactors and Beneficiaries Dinner
where you will be honored for your contribution, and
get to meet the beneficiaries of your kind
sponsorship.
At the end of the day there's a little saying we
believe in…….
"It's not what happens, cause it happens now and
then, it's what we do about it, that’s important in the
end."
So come join us in this enormous fight that we aim to win one day.
So please feel free to contact one of the following members of the
club for more information.
