On a beautiful but chilly Saturday morning, eight young Aquinians supported a Telethon Fundraiser at a local soccer club at Len Shearer Reserve in Booragoon. Ollie Lim was also there to lend his support and the boys helped to set up and serve at the sausage sizzle as well as sell Telethon Bears. Organisers Sam and Brendan Valente commented on what an amazing group of young men they were.

“All the feedback I'm getting from parents is about how good the boys feel for doing something like this. They took their roles in their stride. There was the AC song at the beginning of the morning. There were multiple Aquinas council meetings before action stations. The boys and adults had a ball! Many thanks to Fiona McAllister for spending her morning off and helping to run the smooth operation at the canteen/BBQ and clean up”

The aim was to raise $500, but closer to $1100 was raised at this event. It was a blessing to have eager, happy boys, staff, parents and family assist with this worthy cause.
