Our beneficiaries
We've already kicked off our donations to worthy beneficiaries with a scooter for Beerwah's Lauren Kidd. Just like every other teenage
girl, Lauren's favourite way to chill out is to hang with friends and go shopping.
Unfortunately, until now the
Beerwah 13-year-old has not been
able to indulge in her hobbies
very often because of juvenile
arthritis in her hips.
At the beginning of the school
term The Board Meeting
donated a blue scooter to Lauren.
Her mum, Wendy, said the
scooter would help improve
Lauren’s social life and also make
her time at school easier
Other ways to help
There are a few ways you can support The Board Meeting.
A] You can enter a team of surfers,
B] You can sponsor a team under your business name and we will arrange for a team for you, or
C] You can simply make a donation of cash or auction items to the cause. Or simply attend one of our fundraising drives like this year's Surf Movie Night where we're showing the classic Morning of the Earth.

2010 Charity Surf Competition at Kawana, November 6
The event, which started in 2003 is run on the second weekend in November each year and draws on the enthusiasm and generosity of the Surfing and Business communities to participate in an amateur surfing competition where the emphasis is on fun. It is also a great opportunity for surfers to get together in the water, have a good time and broaden their local business contacts.
36 corporate teams of four surfers take to the water in heats to battle it out with a special points scoring system that slightly favours "more mature" surfers. Each team must have at least one "Malibu" or longboard.
The comp is open to young and old, amateur and pro, trade and professional.
Event Venue: To be held at Kawana Beach (with alternative sites at Maroochydore Beach or Ann Street, Caloundra, if conditions require)
Event Date: Competition from 6.00 am Saturday 6th November, 2010.
