Ballina RSL Club has laid down the gauntlet, pledging $50,000 towards the Our House project.
It’s the club’s largest single donation to a local charity
Our House will be located opposite Lismore Hospital and will provide cancer patients and their families with somewhere to stay during treatment.
“We hope that this will be like the little snowball on top of the hill effect and gather momentum as it rolls down the hill so that they’ll have no trouble funding this worthwhile cause.”
Around $1-million is needed to complete the project which includes 20 motel-style units.
“$50,000 gives the naming right on one of the units. We want to go bigger and better than one unit now.”
