In just three short years, Scarboro Surf Life Saving Club will celebrate an incredible milestone — our 100th anniversary. As we look toward 2028, we reflect proudly on the friendships formed, lives saved, and generations of community involvement that define our club. Now, we invite you, our valued members, past members, and supporters, to be a part of something truly historic.

Centenary Fundraising Campaign Launched

To honour a century of service, our Centenary Planning Committee (CPC) has developed a strategic vision for commemorating this legacy. At the heart of this plan is a targeted fundraising campaign to raise $50,000 by 31 December 2025.

This initiative aims to capture the spirit and story of Scarboro SLSC through six key pillars:

  1. Community
  2. Lifesaving
  3. Competition
  4. Participation and Equality
  5. Education and Development
  6. Club and Membership

Where Will Your Contribution Go?

Every dollar raised will be tax-deductible and directly supports our centenary projects, including:

  • Archiving our history: Digitally cataloguing and preserving 100 years of club achievements and milestones.
  • Publishing a commemorative book: Available in both hard copy and free digital formats, celebrating the people and stories that made us.
  • Hosting celebration events: Honouring the contributions of members and recognising our impact on the community and surf lifesaving movement.

These funds will also help us unlock additional support through community and historical grants, with general club funds only being used if absolutely necessary.

How You Can Help

We’re calling on everyone who has been touched by the Scarboro SLSC legacy — whether through patrols, carnivals, training, or the friendships formed — to consider making a contribution.

Ways to donate:

Every contribution, big or small, makes a lasting impact. If you or your organisation are looking for meaningful ways to give back, this is a unique opportunity to support the preservation and celebration of Scarboro’s incredible history.

Thank you for your support — here’s to 100 years of saving lives, building community, and making waves.
