We love helping our Community and when they are helping the wider Community it feels even better 🥰
Well done on your amazing achievements Maroondah Volleyball👏👏

"We are delighted to announce that our Good Friday Appeal Volleyball Tournament and 24-Hour Volley-a-thon was once again a great success, raising an amazing $20,917 for the 95th Year of the Good Friday Appeal.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Bendigo Bank Ringwood East and Croydon for your generous loan of the BBQ trailer. Your continued support plays an important role in helping us make this event possible.
Two weeks ago, we were honoured to be invited to the GFA Impact Celebration Night at the Royal Children's Hospital. It was a wonderful opportunity to come together, acknowledge the support and recognise the collective effort that makes the cause so powerful.
Over the past several years, our fundraising efforts for the Good Friday Appeal have now reached more than $98,000, and with next year's event, will surpass the significant milestone of $100,000 raised.
Your ongoing support has made a meaningful difference, and we couldn't achieve these results without the generosity and assistance of people like you.
Once again, thank you for being part of this journey and for helping us support the children and families who rely on the Good Friday Appeal."

Kind Regards

Another great sporting community we are proud to support.

The Heathmont Baseball Club held a wonderful lunch today with funds being raised for Love Your Sister.

It was great to hear the extremely passionate Samuel Johnson speak about his beloved sister Connie and of the amazing work their charity has done to raise money, awareness and new research to ‘vanquish’ cancer.

Thanks for inviting us along and congratulations on running such a successful event and raising money. 💕

💗⚾ What an incredible day at the Love Your Sister Fundraiser hosted by the Heathmont Penguins Baseball Club on Sunday 31st May 2026.

Field of View Sports Photography was proud to be there capturing the smiles, the pink, the community spirit, and the amazing support for such a fabulous cause. 📸💕

A huge thank you and congratulations to everyone involved — the organisers, volunteers, sponsors, players, supporters, families, and friends who helped make the day so special.

We also want to acknowledge the wonderful work Love Your Sister continues to do in raising much-needed funds and awareness. Your passion, dedication, and heart inspire so many. 💖

It was a privilege to capture a day filled with love, laughter, generosity, and community. 🐧⚾💗
