Fundraising

Surf Life Saving NSW is heavily reliant on the generous support of the public to maintain the high standard of services we offer our members and beachgoers. Fundraising activities include the Guardians of the Surf program, quarterly raffles, Boardies Day and general donations from those in the community, including business.
