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.
A message from Cathy Freeman
Dear Potential ‘Surf for Kids
Campaign’ Supporter
It's Cathy Freeman here and I'm seeking your support. As you may know already, over 900
underprivileged children experience a wonderful, much needed holiday every year at Cottage
by the Sea in Queenscliff.
We do not receive any Government funding and rely heavily on community generosity and
support to ensure this valuable service continues.
The Surf for Kid’s Campaign - in essence we are aiming to enhance awareness of our charity
and raise sufficient donations to enable an additional 100 needy children from around
Australia to enjoy a much needed holiday.
As Patron of Cottage by the Sea I would like to thank you ‘in advance’ for your much valued
consideration and potential donation, we certainly appreciate your support.

| 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. With ongoing publicity
reports and updates in the media and on the internet. |
| |
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 b y 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.
