Special projects and pathways programs co-ordinator Joe Moniodis said the funds would go towards programs that help children reach their full potential through sport, art and leadership, with a goal of $50,000 set.
Based in Mirrabooka, the centre runs sport and leadership programs at the Butler Community Centre as well, including the Butler Falcons multicultural girls AFL team.
Aged eight to 18, the football players meet on Fridays between 7pm and 9pm, at the same time as a soccer program for five to 18-year-olds.
The centre has a youth leadership program for 10 to 18-year-olds on Fridays from 5pm to 6.30pm and tennis programs for five to 18-year-olds on Wednesdays from 5.30pm to 7pm.
