Youth Solutions event raises funds to support young people
An enthusiastic and community-minded field of golfers raised more than $13,000 at the 2025 Youth Solutions Charity Golf Day at Campbelltown Golf Club earlier this month.
A cohort of 22 teams, from local businesses, organisations and community members, participated in the annual fundraising event, on perfect fairways for a perfect golfing day.
Charity Golf Day event partner Rise Above Macarthur United Foundation, which shares Youth Solutions’ values of community connection and care, helped facilitate a full field and the day’s smooth running.
All funds raised from the 2025 event will be invested into Youth Solutions’ drug and alcohol education and prevention, wellbeing and outreach programs supporting local young people.
Rise Above Macarthur United Foundation; Josh and Jess Cotter and Jake and Kara Alchin, alongside Youth Solutions President, Peter Campbell, CEO, Geraldine Dean and Youth Solutions Manager Marketing & Engagement, Amanda Dillon.
Youth Solutions Chief Executive Officer Geraldine Dean said she was again overwhelmed by the support of the community to ensure the success of the Charity Golf Day.
“The golf day is one of our favourite fundraisers,” Mrs Dean said. “It brings together and brings out the best in our community. The day depends on teamwork – from our voluntary Fundraising Committee who kick off the organisation of the event, to our sponsors, our supporters and our golfers who make the day happen.”
“Everyone’s focus is ultimately on the bigger prize, which is the wellbeing of the young people in our community. Our programs and workshops aim to empower young people to make informed decisions around life’s challenges and have the opportunities they deserve to reach their full potential.”
Mrs Dean said Youth Solutions was grateful for the support from Josh and Jess Cotter and Jake and Kara Alchin, from Charity Golf Day partners Rise Above Macarthur United Foundation.
“The Cotters and Alchins came aboard in 2023, and since then they’ve shared Youth Solutions’ vision and worked incredibly hard toward the success of the Charity Golf Day. We thank them sincerely for their commitment and belief in what we do,” Mrs Dean said.
Mrs Dean also acknowledged the many local businesses that supported the 2025 Charity Golf Day.
“I can’t emphasise enough how much Youth Solutions enjoys and appreciates working in this community. It’s a community that is always ready to stand up and look after its own. Please support those businesses that support our community.”
