Rainbow, Jeparit clubs celebrate HSCC sponsorships
Numerous groups from the Rainbow Jeparit area travelled to Horsham Golf Club on Sunday, June 22, to receive sponsorship funding from the Horsham Sports & Community Club (HSCC).
More than 120 volunteers and committee members from across the Wimmera region attended the event, with $146,000 in sponsorship funding being distributed across 103 clubs and community groups.
Rainbow and Jeparit groups receiving support include the Rainbow Fire Brigade, Rainbow Rises Events Association, 1st Rainbow Scout Group, and Jeparit A&P Society.
Daniel Hounsell, manager at HSCC, highlighted how the sponsorships reaffirmed the organisation's commitment to supporting sports and community groups in Horsham and beyond.
“Our sponsorship program is designed to assist, develop, promote, advance and encourage all sporting and community activities in Horsham, its surrounding districts and towns,” Mr Hounsell said.
“This funding helps ease the burden on so many tireless volunteers who work year-round to keep their clubs and groups operating and growing.”
Also receiving support were the Nhill Historical Society, who was represented by president Helen Woodhouse-Herrick.
"I hadn’t been to one of these gatherings before and found it interesting to find a delightful group of people from all over the district accepting grants which would go towards the different items that they require within their clubs to make their town and clubs a happier place," Ms Woodhouse-Herrick said.
