INTRODUCING OUR GOLD SPONSORS 🌟

We are thrilled to welcome Coomera Car Care Mechanics and Upside Kids Physio as Gold Sponsors of our Bogan Bingo fundraiser!

Coomera Car Care 🚗
Located right here in Upper Coomera, Coomera Car Care is a family owned and operated business that has been looking after the Northern Gold Coast community for more than 20 years.
Their experienced team provides complete automotive servicing and repairs, including logbook servicing, vehicle inspections, brakes, clutches, air conditioning, wheel alignments and more. Known for their honest and reliable service, they also offer free courtesy cars to make looking after your vehicle a little easier.
As a well established local business, Coomera Car Care is proud to support the community it has served for more than two decades.

Upside Kids Physio & Health 🌈
Does your child want to move, play and explore, but need a little extra support to get there?
Upside Kids’ friendly team of physiotherapists and occupational therapists helps children from birth to 18 years build skills, grow in confidence and take part in the things they love.
They provide personalised, evidence based therapy at their Ashmore clinic, at home, school, daycare and within the community. They also offer aquatic therapy nearby in Pimpama and fun programs that make working towards goals an opportunity to play, learn and connect.
Upside Kids currently has availability, so get in touch with their caring team to find out how they can support your child and family.

Having two trusted local businesses stand alongside our school means so much. Their sponsorship brings us another step closer to providing a new 22 seat modified school bus and inclusive play equipment for our Champions.

A heartfelt thank you to Coomera Car Care and Upside Kids Physio & Health for supporting our Champions! 💙

Did you know our Champions can mix and match their Fun Run rewards? 🎁

The amount each Champion raises determines which prize levels they unlock, but they do not have to choose only one prize from their highest level.

For example, a Champion who raises $100 could choose one item from the $100 to $149 prize level or four items from the $10 to $24 prize level.

With plenty of combinations available, Champions can choose the rewards that excite them most 🌟

Keep sharing your Champion’s profile with trusted family and friends through myprofilepage.com.au or the Australian Fundraising app.

Every donation helps us move closer to our $20,000 school fundraising goal 💙

The Coomera State Special School P&C Association Bogan Bingo event is being sponsored by some amazing local businesses who get behind our Champions !

We are so grateful to see Rampage Marine and Fabrication supporting this event 🎉

Buy your tickets and join us for a cracker night of (fun)draising !! 🎟️

INTRODUCING OUR PLATINUM SPONSOR 🌟

We are incredibly proud to welcome Rampage Marine and Fabrication as the Platinum Sponsor and Presenting Partner of our Bogan Bingo fundraiser!

Rampage Marine & Fabrication is a family owned business specialising in custom marine fabrication, including boats, marine equipment, repairs and refits.

Their support is especially meaningful because their family relocated from the Mid North Coast to Queensland so their son could attend CSSS, a decision they describe as life changing. As part of our school community, they understand firsthand the importance of creating meaningful opportunities for people with disability.

Their commitment to giving back also extends beyond our school, including their recent support of a Great Endeavour Rally team raising funds for the Endeavour Foundation.

Their generous sponsorship will help us move closer to our goal of funding a new 22 seat modified school bus and inclusive play equipment for our Champions.

Thank you, Rampage Marine & Fabrication, for leading the way as our Presenting Partner and supporting an event that will make a lasting difference for our school community! 💙
