Many furry four-legged friends at YAPS will benefit from a donation of $1020, thanks to 96 enthusiastic volleyballers at Great Adventures annual Green Island Family Day.
The beach volleyball challenge with 16 competing teams from local Cairns businesses is the main event at the annual Family Day, a community event now ongoing for over 10 years.
Sponsored by Great Adventures and Green Island Resort with the support of Cairns Indoor Sports, players receive free travel to Green Island with the registration fee donated to charity, this year’s recipients being YAPS.
“YAPS is a wonderful community organisation caring for many homeless animals and we’re very pleased to be able to support the great work they do,” said Megan Bell, Quicksilver Group’s Director of Marketing.
This year’s volleyball challenge winners were the team from Queensland Health while the wooden spooners, the ‘Cairns Indoor Sports Shark Bites’, were just as proud. |
