Read the full storyThe volunteers at Coast Guard Cardwell QF23 have once again been reminded of the generosity of their local community, receiving two recent donations that will go a long way in helping keep boaties safe on the water.
On the 20th of August, QF23 shared their appreciation for the Cardwell Op Shop, which has supported the Coast Guard for many years. The flotilla acknowledged not only the financial contribution but also the incredible volunteer effort behind the fundraising.
"Your donation supports us to help boaties who get into trouble on the water. We especially appreciate this help as we know the huge volunteer effort that raised these funds,” a spokesperson said.
Just a few days later, another act of kindness added to the Coast Guard’s gratitude. Local identity Terry Metcalfe, well known for playing his euphonium around town, presented a $610 donation alongside his wife, Sue. The money came from community members and visitors who generously drop coins and notes into Terry’s music case as he performs at the markets, along Victoria Street, and just about everywhere in between.
Ken English from QF23 was delighted to receive the donation and thanked the Metcalfes for their ongoing support.
“Generous donations like this help us to come to the rescue of Boaties who have found themselves in a fix,” he said.
Terry, whose music has become part of Cardwell’s character, gives the money he raises to local not-for-profit organisations whose hardworking volunteers contribute to the well-being of the community.
Whether it’s the steady fundraising efforts of the Op Shop or the joyful notes of a euphonium drifting through town, these contributions make a real difference. Coast Guard Cardwell QF23 says they are deeply grateful for the support, which helps ensure they can continue their vital role assisting those who run into trouble at sea.
