The Cardwell community has continued to demonstrate its generosity, with recent fundraising efforts supporting local schools and raising more than $3,000 for Dolly’s Dream.
Following successful fundraising activities surrounding Anzac Day and the Battle of the Coral Sea commemorations, the Cardwell RSL Sub Branch announced a total of $5,500 in donations to Parents and Citizens groups at several schools across the region.
Cardwell State School received $2,000, while Kennedy State School and Murray River Upper State School each received $1,000. Tully High School, Gilroy Santa Maria College and Our Lady of Lourdes College also received donations of $500 each.
Cardwell RSL President Robert Lang said the committee was proud of its fundraising efforts, particularly through events held around Anzac Day and the Battle of the Coral Sea ceremonies.
The school donations form part of the Cardwell RSL’s 2026 donations program, with further support planned later in the year for local community organisations and events.
The spirit of giving has also extended beyond the RSL, with Cardwell businesses, schools and community groups recently coming together in support of Dolly’s Dream. Collectively, the community raised more than $3,000 for the organisation.
Businesses and organisations involved in the fundraising effort included Cardwell RSL, Cardwell Early Learning and Cardwell Op Shop, alongside support from local schools and community members.
The recent efforts highlight the strong community spirit in Cardwell, with fundraising and support continuing to benefit both local causes and broader initiatives.
