Christmas Gifts Donated to Hospital

Posted on December 23, 2023

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing community! With all of your generous donations, we accumulated over 150+ gifts for kids and raised $937 in support of Blacktown and Mount Druitt Hospitals.

These toys were delivered to Blacktown Hospital on Thursday 21 December by our Finance Manager, Anthony Holmes and Marketing Manager, Jessica Chen.

The staff at Blacktown Hospital were left speechless when a sleigh-load of gifts arrived, all beautifully wrapped (thanks to Reception staff) and labelled ready for healthcare staff to share with their littlest patients.

One healthcare staff said, “You can feel the overwhelming love and support here today from our local community, and it means the world to us, our patients and their families knowing they care”.

Thanks to all of you, and together with the Better Foundation, we have been able to make a difference and bring joy to those in need during the holiday season. We appreciate everyone who contributed and we’re incredibly grateful for your support in making this Christmas Giving Tree a success.

GM vs Directors & Staff…Who will win?

Posted on March 4, 2022

Throughout the month of March, the team at Seven Hills RSL will be walking to support Save Our Sons Duchenne Foundation and help raise much needed awareness and funds for those living with Duchenne & Becker muscular dystrophy.

Joe Bayssari, our General Manager, has set a challenge for himself and our directors and staff and has vowed to match the number of km’s that our Seven Hills RSL team collectively walk. That means if we collectively walk 400km, Joe himself has to walk 400km! To make things a bit fairer, we have given him a bit of a headstart.

Joe started his 2022 Walk 4 Duchenne on the 1st March and our team will be completing our walk on treadmills located in our Club reception area from Friday 25th March. Joe will be walking each day, at different times of the day to represent that the impact of Duchenne muscular dystrophy is 24/7 and the care required is around the clock.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a muscle wasting condition which predominately affects boys and in very rare cases girls. To date there is no cure. Any donation no matter how big or small, will go a long way in helping us find a cure for Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy.

Renovation Update / February 2022

Posted on February 4, 2022

Stage 1 of our Club renovation is complete and since the new year, works have been underway to build the new concrete footings and block wall foundations, ready to support the new concrete slabs for the future kitchen and dining areas.

Demolition has continued around the perimeter of the old building to clear the way for the new works.

The old roof is being kept for now to keep the site dry and to protect the lower level reception area from being flooded in a big rain event.

Our carpenter has been building the raised floor for the future sports bar area.

Design of the structural steel roof framing is almost complete, to enable the steel to be ordered and fabricated in time for when the concrete slab is poured.

Stay tuned for more renovation updates by keeping an eye on our social pages or visiting the Club News section of our website www.sevenhillsrsl.com.au
