A huge congratulations to Lennox–Ballina Boardriders (LE-BA) on another successful golf day – and an even bigger thank you for directing the proceeds to Marine Rescue Ballina.
‘LE-BA enjoys giving back to the community… Marine Rescue Ballina helps keep our local coastal waters safe,’ said President Zac Wightman.
Unit Commander Peter Hill expressed his gratitude: ‘This very significant donation is a big morale boost for our volunteers. We’ll make sure it goes toward improving our capability to keep people safe on the water.’
During the presentation at the Marine Rescue Tower, volunteers were busy logging vessels and assisting in a real-time search and rescue operation – a reminder of just how vital their work is.
Marine Rescue Ballina crews regularly work alongside NSW Police Marine Area Command, Surf Life Saving, and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter to keep our waterways safe.
