Campaign Outline
The General Manager of Cottage by the Sea, Tony Featherston along with his
surfing partner David Smith, are embarking on a ‘personal and voluntary'
fundraising and profile raising surf campaign in aid of the Cottage.
The aim is to surf 100 hundred locations over 100 or more weekends raising
enough money to fund a holiday of a lifetime for an additional 100 needy
children from around Australia. There will be ongoing publicity reports and
updates in the media and on the internet.
The campaign is supported by
annual Celebrity Surf Days, with children from the Cottage mixing with a host of
celebrities (including Catherine
Freeman) attending for a fun filled surfing competition.
Objectives of the Campaign:
- to raise the profile of Cottage by the Sea in the wider Victorian and
Australian community
- to raise money to enable 100 more needy children to enjoy a ‘first time’
holiday
- to create opportunities placing Cottage by the Sea in the media
How will it work?
Tony and David will participate on a totally voluntary basis in their own
time. This is why the campaign will run for 100 weeks or more because it’s all
happening on weekends and during annual leave periods. To successfully complete
the task, they will need to surf the location for a minimum of one hundred
minutes catching at least 10 waves in the process. They would like to surf some
locations with local celebrities to enhance the chances of gaining publicity and
awareness of the campaign.
How can you Donate?
You can help Tony and David in their surf quest by making a 'tax deductible'
donation
to Cottage by the Sea or you can offer other ‘in kind’ support/sponsorship to
help them out as they travel around the country e.g. accommodation, transport or
equipment.
