Rotary club plans youth charity ball

The Rotary Club of Umina Beach will hold its Central Coast Youth Charity Gala Ball at Gosford RSL on November 9.

Proceeds of the evening will go to the Top Blokes Foundation, a men and boys social, educational and mental health organisation.

Outgoing Rotary club president Mr Paul Quinn said: "The Top Blokes Foundation supports over 400 young males on the Central Coast each year, through mentoring and social education programs across primary schools, high schools and in the wider community.

"Young males who engage in the program are improving their mental health and reducing their risk-taking behaviours.

"On the Coast, the Top Blokes team are aiming to reach an additional 200 young males through their programs in 2020 and your attendance at the Ball will help us raise the funds they need to achieve this," Mr Quinn said.

Mr Quinn said he anticipated "a fun evening with fantastic food and wine and a band that is sure to keep you dancing all night long".

The club is currently seeking sponsors for the event.
