A legacy on the road
November 05, 2026
Thanks to the generosity of a remarkable supporter, Cottage by the Sea's new 25-seater bus is now on the road and ready to create new memories for children attending our programs.
The bus was made possible through a generous Gift in Will from Elvie, whose connection to Cottage stretches back decades. In the 1960s, Elvie brought her son, Anthony, to Cottage by the Sea. Anthony, who lived with Cerebral Palsy, sadly passed away at the age of nine, but Elvie always held fond memories of the time they spent at Cottage together.
Elvie, aged 95.
Through her thoughtful bequest, Elvie has helped ensure future generations of children can access the life-changing experiences, friendships and opportunities that Cottage by the Sea provides.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to Elvie and her family for this extraordinary gift. Her legacy will continue to make a difference for years to come.
Gifts in Wills play a vital role in helping Cottage by the Sea plan for the future, ensuring we can continue to provide opportunities and support for generations of children to come. You can learn more about out Gifts in Wills program here.
