Thank you for everyone who joined us at the Step Up for Down Syndrome fundraising sausage sizzle on Sunday!
What a perfect day to attend the LIFT THE LID WALK for Mental Health - TOWNSVILLE 2024 handing out bottles of water to keep the walkers hydrated. Perfectly positioned next to the sausage sizzle from The Rotary Club of Townsville Sunrise, what a great day out!

What a perfect day at The Strand on Saturday! The Ross River Rotary Club members came together to host a BBQ at the StepUP! for Down Syndrome Townsville fundraising event for Down Syndrome Association of Qld.
The gorgeous weather and picturesque location couldn't have been more perfect. The sun was shining, the sea breeze was invigorating, and the smiles on everyone's faces were truly infectious.
A huge thanks to Sunrise Rotary Townsville who provided us with both the barbeque trailer and their dedicated members David Roderick and Brian Dobson who cooked up a storm!
