Woodgate Community Events donated $7,000 in 2022 to local services that support the Woodgate community. Fundraising efforts throughout the year at annual events are shared with emergency services, charities and other community groups that actively support Woodgate residents. Over the past five years more than $11,000 has been donated. President Lesley Christensen said it was important for Woodgate Communit Events to reciprocate the support they received. “We can’t host our events without the generous support of the community and the wonderful local businesses and organisations that support us,” Lesley says. “So we believe it’s important we take opportunities to give back to organisations that, in turn, are there for our community, especially in times of trouble.” In 2022 donations were made to the Woodgate First Responders, cancer research and Careflight Rescue. President Lesley Christensen handed over a $2,000 donation to President of the Woodgate Beach Ambulance Benefit Committee Inc., Wendy Gearside.
