BORONIA HAWKS | DOING OUR BIT

Our charity partners Knox Infolink sent in a nice text message to ABC Radio Melbourne yesterday when they were talking about sporting clubs and the community work they do.

A really great listen with Richelle Hunt and Paul Kennedy on the ABC’s The Conversation Hour-Why Sporting Clubs Matter. Here’s some footage from Wednesday night and a snippet of the story.

3rd Annual Christmas Food & Toy Drive

Wow! Our 3rd Annual Christmas Food & Toy drive in support of Knox Infolink was held last night in beautiful conditions at Tormore Reserve. With all Senior Mens & Women’s teams, Masters, Vets and some Juniors training together it was an awesome way to roll into the upcoming Christmas break.

Thank you very much to everyone who was able to contribute something to support Knox Infolink Inc in their ‘Share the Joy’ Knox Christmas Appeal.

Our donations just get bigger and bigger each year, something you should all be very proud of as these donations do make a big difference. Thanks to Ellen for cooking a BBQ and the fruit afterwards.


KNOX COMMUNITY XMAS SUPPORT

The Boronia Hawks community can feel very proud of our annual Xmas contributions to KNOX INFOLINK. We thank them now for their kind recognition of our efforts to support them in 2023.

Pease take a moment to read the letter of thanks to our Senior Secretary, Grant Bertram, and Auskick Co-ordinator, Samantha Dunkinson, who were closely involved in our Xmas drive for donated foodstuffs and gifts for the local community.


HAWKS SHARE THE JOY WITH KNOX INFOLINK

What a great way to finish off the year, with Senior Women, Men, Veterans and two Junior teams all training together prior to the Christmas break.

Thank you very much to everyone who was able to contribute something to support Knox Infolink in their ‘Share the Joy’ Knox Christmas Appeal. Our donations just get bigger and bigger each year, something you should all be very proud of.
