Careflight Charity Golf day 13 September 2013

Senior Constable Scott Guerin shows just some of the items that will be auctioned at the Charity Golf Day on Friday 13 September 2013:


A set of three limited edition prints of the Beatles when they toured Australia, a golf ball display cabinet locally handcrafted by Les Cowan, original artworks by Wayne Clements and Anita Rowney, an assortment of Careflight and Police soft toys and a signed 2005/2006 Kangaroos Jersey.

There will be something to appeal to everyone in either the auction or as raffle prizes, with local businesses donating accommodation, meals, wines & liqueurs, family fun passes, jewellery, sporting memorabilia and sporting goods.

Proceeds go the RACQ Careflight Rescue service which is invaluable in an area such as ours. Here are just some of the missions they’ve completed recently:

26/08/2012 - CareFlight airlifted a mother and daughter injured in a serious three-car smash in Canungra. Several other patients from the same crash were airlifted separately by other rescue helicopters.

23/09/2012 - CareFlight  airlifted a 50 year old female tourist with a twisted right knee out of O’Reillys in the Lamington National Park.

28/04/2013 - CareFlight was tasked to Springbrook National Park to airlift a woman in her sixties who slipped on some rocks while bush walking, fracturing her left ankle and sustaining a minor head injury.

4/05/2013 - CareFlight airlifted a 51 year old female from a property at Guanaba who fell from a horse, injuring her neck and stomach and then having the horse fall back and rolling on top of her.
