The Cook Community Classic

Scott is proud to be the patron of a fantastic Shire run charity initiative - the Cook Community Classic.

The Classic is all about helping us appreciate, support and value the generosity of our local community.

It consists of a combined community event held each year in November in Cronulla.

It combines a competitive surf carnival between our four Bate Bay Surf clubs, an open ocean swim and a community carnival in the surrounding park areas. The carnival includes entertainment, live music, local celebrities and community stalls featuring the participating event sponsors and community organisations.

A popular community open water swim is also held off Cronulla Beach, with one and two kilometre events.

The Cook Community Classic also runs a major community raffle, website, and a gala ball which will showcase the event as well as raise funds for Shire charities.

Through these activities the Classic provides a fundraising platform for our local Shire community groups - including sports clubs, local charities, school P&Cs; and other community organisations - without them having to attract sponsors, arrange prizes, organise events and generate publicity of their own. This is especially important for smaller organisations which do not have the capacity to undertake these tasks.

The Classic is all about trying to make the most of the efforts of our community organisations.

It’s an event created in the best spirit of the Sutherland Shire community, building on the great Shire traditions of sporting excellence and the desire to help one’s neighbours.

Harnessing the spirit and generosity of the people of the Sutherland Shire, the Classic aims to not only showcase great competition on the water but also raise money for worthy local causes.

Scott is thankful of everyone who is involved in helping make the event possible.

This year please don’t forget to purchase your tickets in the Classic charity raffle which will help support our local community while offering you the chance to win great prizes.
