Community Events
Cazalys is excited and proud to be supporting community events, and although the club is involved with supporting AFL movement at the club, we are all about helping the wider community where possible as well.
The Cazalys Cairns Community Fund
Each year Cazalys Cairns is proud to donate $50,000 to Community Organisations and worthy indivuals via its Community Fund.
The Fund was launched in 2008 and gives grants to people and organisations in the local area who strive make a difference or work hard to achieve sporting, academic or artistic excellence but require funding to reach their goals.
Past beneficies of the funds have included the Celebal Palsy League, the Queensland Guide Dogs Associateion, the Rotary Duck Race, Queensland Tennis, and various individuals who required funding to assist them in their goals.
The Cazalys Cairns Community Fund has a simple objective: to better the lives of people in Far North Queensland. Accordingly, the Fund is offering:
- A maximum of $1,000 to individuals. Grants can be used in their pursuit of sport, academic or performing art. Applicants must be full-time students if applying in the academic field
- A maximum of $5,000 to not for profit organisations

Clubs Smile for a Child
Clubs Smile for a Child is a club industry initiative that supports Queensland charities working with Queensland children who require various forms of medical assistance.
Each year participating Queensland clubs (RSL, surf life saving, community, bowls, golf, football, soccer, and more) raise vital funds by selling merchandise (eg t-shirts, caps, badges, lollies), running events (eg movie screenings, sporting days, fundraising dinners, auctions), and providing generous club donations.
In 2009, Clubs Smile for a Child again set a grand and admirable target of raising $1 Million through the fundraising activities of member clubs for the Foundation's three selected 2009 beneficiaries -
Since its inception in 2002, the Foundation has raised over $1.7 Million for various beneficiaries, all in the name of putting smiles on the faces of Queensland children and their families in times of vital medical need.
