Beerwah Charity Sports

By Helen Page

THIS  iconic community event brought the Glasshouse Country district together, and raised over $455,000 for Cancer Council Qld over 52 years. Starting in 1971, this community run event had a long and proud history, and was a huge annual draw that would attract hundreds if not thousands of people each year  to Beerwah Sportsground.

Many local families and community groups were involved throughout the life of the Charity Sports, as committee members, volunteers, sponsors and participants. 
At their October meeting, Peachester History Committee displayed photos and memorabilia, and shared memories of this significant piece of local history.
