THOMAS MURPHY A TRIBUTE TO
VALE
THOMAS MURPHY 1937 - 2023
With the deepest of sadness, we inform you of the passing of Thomas Murphy who passed away peacefully on the evening of Thursday 4 May.
Since the beginning of Mounties Tom has been there. From the idea to create Mounties back in the 1960s, he has been there for every step of the journey. As a Founding Member of Mounties Group, as well as a life member with decades of service. Tom has served the Club in many roles including a member of the Board of Directors for the past 28 years and President of our Indoor Bowls for the past 31 years.
Tom was passionate about our community, creating the very first Mounties Sub Club, paving the way for social inclusion for all those who live in our communities. Thanks to Tom’s tenure Mounties Group now has over 50 Sub Clubs in operation with thousands able to enjoy shared community experiences.
Our thoughts are with Tom’s entire family and friends who will be grieving the passing of such an amazing man.
Forever part of our Mounties family.
SUPERTEE’S FOR BRAVE LITTLE SUPERHEROES
Mounties Group is delighted to have partnered with the Fair Fight Foundation to assist with funding and awareness for its wonderful initiative, Supertee.
The Supertee is a medical garment that inspires imagination. It is a modern take on the traditional hospital gown, created especially for children with designs inspired by Marvel characters, Captain America and Captain Marvel.
The Supertee provides parents and hospital staff with an easier way to change garments while accessing and bypassing medical lines. Moreso, it provides a touch of superhero inspiration to brave and sick kids, who need it most.
Mounties Group recently met the man behind the Foundation, Jason Sotiris who founded the charity from his own personal challenges.
Since 2018, Jason has been helping sick kids become superheros. After watching his then one-year-old daughter, Angela, undergo chemotherapy he came up with the idea of Supertees. Designed as a medical garment, the costume acts as a virtual armour for children fighting the worst villains of all – cancer and other long-term illnesses.
“Supertee is so much more than a t-shirt; it’s a way to comfort children and families when they need it the most. The Supertee design is practical, inspirational, and 100% cool. There are currently two unique contemporary designs available, both of which have been endorsed by our friends at Disney and Marvel,” explained Founder & CEO of Supertees, Jason Sotiris.
“We want kids to be recognised as the true superheroes they are. We aim to alleviate their suffering and distress through distraction, comfort, and the wonders of
imaginative play – after all, every superhero deserves a costume,” he added.
Two $10,000 grants were provided to the organisation as part of the 2022 ClubGRANTS from Harbord Diggers and Halekulani Bowling Club. However, Mounties Group has pledged its support further to assist with packing and delivering 400 care packs to local hospitals in all three regions in which our clubs operate.
“Supertee aims to bring convenience, comfort, and imaginative play to hospitals in Australia and around the world. In addition to their wonderful superhero-inspired medical gown, the Foundation provides care packs to children with activities, keepsakes and a personal note from Marvel characters,” added Jason.
“We were so excited to have the extended support from Mounties with a team of more than 15 of their team coming together and individually packed all 400 care packs.
There are around 500,000 children a year needing the services of Australia’s hospitals. A significant number of these kids are diagnosed with a critical illness that requires long-term care.
“Our goal is to help a minimum of 28,000 of our sickest children by providing them with products and services for free. We can only do this thanks to amazing supporters like Mounties Group,” concluded Jason.
The first 100 Supertee care packs were transported to Fairfield Hospital in April with Mounties representatives joining Jason and his team for the delivery.
ACCESSIBLE ARTS FOR CREATIVE MINDS BY SUNNYFIELD
Creating bright futures for people with disability is at the heart of the work that member based, registered not-for-profit charity, Sunnyfield does.
Sunnyfield’s primary objective is to enrich the lives of people with disability by creating choice and opportunities to learn life skills through recreational and therapeutic programs.
Delivering nearly 2,000 support services for people with disability, including children, teenagers, adults and seniors each year, Triglav was delighted to support Sunnyfield’s accessible arts project as part of last year’s ClubGRANTS scheme.
The grant was used to purchase art supplies to enable the free weekly art classes to continue from Sunnyfield’s Western Sydney hub.
The Creative Minds Project was an initiative of Sunnyfield after several clients showed interest in art with an emphasis on painting, sculpting, scrap booking and working with a cricut.
Aside from providing an opportunity to engage socially with peers, build on their abilities and find a place in their community that helps them thrive, the weekly art classes also offer participants an outlet to try a new hobby.
Sunnyfield’s Community Services Manager from Western Sydney said the project has been a huge success.
“Thanks to the Club Grant we received from Mounties Group we have been able to purchase and replenish art resources for our Creative Minds program,” explained Amira Salama, Regional Manager, Community Services Western Sydney.
“Service managers, support workers and clients have been working together to design an arts program that represents the type of leisure activities that clients themselves want to participate in.
“Support workers help clients work on their individual projects, developing client’s current skills, teaching new methods and
encouraging group participation. The arts program helps build fine motor skills and gives non-verbal clients an opportunity to express themselves through their art and designs,” she continued.
32 local clients have participated in the project and they have particularly enjoyed using the cricut machine to make gifts for loved ones at Christmas and recently worked on Mother’s Day candles.
“Sunnyfield clients have enjoyed creating their own masterpieces and gifts to take home, whilst learning new skills that facilitate self-expression and further develop fine motor skills,” Amira concluded.
Triglav provided a $2,600 grant to Sunnyfield as part of the Category 1 ClubGRANTS in 2022. With a commitment to support the local community, Mounties Group has donated more than $1 million to 75 worthy projects last year, including those that support youth, families, seniors, children, and vulnerable members of our community across Sydney and the Central Coast.
“Thanks to the Club Grant we received from Mounties Group we have been able to purchase and replenish art resources for our Creative Minds program,” explained Amira Salama, Regional Manager, Community Services Western Sydney.
