Noel Burt Fundraising Update

Posted on by Merewether.6523

Our fundraising event for Noel Burt is just around the corner and we wanted to update you on how you can contribute any amount big or small to help us buy a car for Noel.
As most of you know, Noel Burt became a C4-5 Quadriplegic while playing rugby for Merewether Carlton against Maitland at Lorn Park on the 6th June 1987.

Noel has spent the last 35 years confined to a wheelchair and his home. His dream is to be able to explore Newcastle once again in his own vehicle. We are raising money to purchase a Kia Carnival to be converted for wheelchair access for Noel.

You can contribute to help Noel in the following ways:

  • purchasing a ticket to our fundraising event on the 5th November by emailing digital@merewethercarlton.com.au. The event was sold out however we were able to open up the whole Yacht club for our event so more tickets are available. It will be a great night with over 200 tickets sold.
  • making a tax deductible donation via our fundraising page on the ASF website here.
  • Or by bidding on one of the Live Auctions we have running right up until the event.  We are lucky enough to have had some amazing donations such as an artwork from James Drinkwater, signed sporting memorabilia and a Fine Dining Experience.

We hope we can achieve this goal in helping Noel and appreciate any support you can give.
