ROUSE HILL RHINOS PINK DAY
I had the honour of once again attending the incredible Rouse Hill Rhinos Junior Rugby League Pink Day event – where they turned their home ground at Wrights Road – Pink!
This event annually supports the Breast Cancer Foundation and a second organisation which this year was the Black Dog Institute.
There were over 450 players from 34 teams – each wearing a sponsored and personalised pink jersey – playing 16 games on the field, and a total of approximately 600 people enjoying all of the extra activities such as rides, stalls and raffles – raising over $20,000 for these two causes.
Since the Club commenced running this event in 2012, the Club has raised over $110,000.00. A contribution that should be recognised.
COMMUNITY INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS – NOW OPEN The NSW Government Community Infrastructure Grants are open to communities across NSW to support the building, renovation and fit-out of infrastructure. Grants open 3 times during the year – but applicants can only apply in one round every year.

Infrastructure Grants can be used for costs such as construction, the purchase of capital equipment and professional fees. Examples of projects range from local sports ground facilities, public swimming pools, art galleries, theatres and upgrades to evacuation centres, or community welfare infrastructure that supports youth, mental health or homelessness services.
