“The grant will allow us to continue to have a St Johns Ambulance at all junior home games to provide a safe environment for players and spectators for the 2018 season,” he said.

Cedar Woods has donated more than $415,000 nationally through the grants program since 2009 and continues to support communities in the surrounding areas of Bushmead.

Other sports groups to benefit from the annual windfall include Swan View Cricket Club, Forrestfield United Soccer Club, Medjugorje Centre for underprivileged children, High Wycombe Cricket Club, Kalamunda Cricket Club and Helena Valley Primary School.
