Two major donations have helped us reach our initial fundraising goal early...! Southampton Rotary Club, in collaboration with GC Huston Public School, is thrilled to announce a major milestone; a major donation of $20,000 from Tuggy’s Gas & Variety has propelled us to reach and surpass our initial $85,000 goal. This follows a generous $10,000 donation last week from Roote’s Gas Bar and Top Shelf. Achieving this remarkable feat in less than three months since the launch of our fundraising campaign speaks to the incredible support from across our community.

But.....so we do not disappoint other potential donors we are leaving the fundraiser open until the New Year so we can make the playground bigger and better than the initial design with a stretch target of $120,000. This coupled with the $30,000 the School has in reserves will mean we can build a $150,000 playground.

Thank you to each supporter who has contributed to this success. From the inception of the project, we committed that any funds surpassing our initial goal would be dedicated to providing youth-related initiatives at GC Huston such as further enhancements to the playground project. While celebrating this achievement, our fundraiser remains open, presenting an ongoing opportunity to enhance the proposed playground with additional features and accessibility. The continued support of our community ensures that we not only meet our target but also create an even more inclusive and vibrant playground facility.
