SUPERHEROES
COMMUNITY CARE

A volunteer charity that supports families with chronically ill kids and families requiring benevolent assistance.

About Us

Superheroes Community Care has recently been established to broaden the charitable fundraising and donations activities of Superheroes Events.

100% of fundraising and donation proceeds go to operating and providing short-stay accommodation assistance to families with chronically ill kids and/or families requiring benevolent assistance at the Superheroes Community Care River Retreat at Shoalhaven Heads, NSW.

In November 2020 the company received ACNC approval to become a Public Benevolent Institution with DGR1 charity status.

Later in April 2021 the Superheroes Community Care River Retreat was established and Superheroes Events Limited/South Coast Superheroes fundraising activities and events now raise funds for this cause.

Defibrillator Campaign

Superheroes Events Limited through our Premier’s Cup Golf Charity Tournament and Charity Q Series is raising funds to expand the number of defibrillators to help save lives, primarily in the Shoalhaven Heads, South Coast area of New South Wales.

Initially through Heart180 Founder and Superheroes Community Care River Retreat Patron Guy Leech we were introduced to this important cause in our region.

Superheroes Events Limited together with an independant team of local community members has come together with the mission of increasing the number and range of defibrillators in our local area to help save more lives, both adults and children.

Our campaign is in honour and in memory of the late Doctor Barry Gray, a highly respected local community champion, who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest at his home in Shoalhaven Heads in October 2022. Our campaign is fully endorsed by Doctor Gray’s wife Mrs Robyn Gray, to whom we are very grateful.

To further our campaign Superheroes Events Limited/Superheroes Community Care, in addition to our continued support of Heart180, have also become a Referrer Partner of Australian company Rapid Response Revival, the manufacturers and suppliers of the CellAED defibrillators, to increase the survival rate following a sudden cardiac arrest.

These defibrillators are affordable, easy to use, transportable and suitable for both adults and children. The ability to carry these with you, have them in your cars/motor vehicles, when traveling in Australia or overseas as well as your home. Our donation of CellAEDs to the community is an important part of defibrillator campaign goal

Our Patron - Guy Leech

“I was very proud to accept the invitation to be the Patron of the Superheroes Community Care River Retreat. I’ve personally been touched by losing a very close friend and a young family member and am passionate about helping to save lives and helping to provide assistance to families with chronically ill kids and families requiring benevolent assistance.
 
I share this community goal with the South Coast Superheroes volunteers and look forward to sharing this journey with them.
 
I am also working with Superheroes Community Care to increase the installation of defibrillators in the South Coast and Southern Highlands region. For every arranged installation Heart180 is donating $400 to the Superheroes Community Care to assist with the running of the Superheroes Community Care River Retreat and the sponsoring of short accommodation respite stays for families at the waterfront property situated on the beautiful Shoalhaven River at Shoalhaven Heads, New South Wales.
 
Heart180 and Superheroes Community Care are proudly working together to help families and save lives. Please join us!”
