REPRESENTATIVES from the Port Stephens Celtic Association and the Rotary Club of Raymond Terrace presented a cheque for $2,000 to the Starlight Room at John Hunter Children’s Hospital on Thursday, 19 June.
The funds were raised during the 2024 Clans on the Coast Celtic Festival held last September in Raymond Terrace.
Ron Swan, President of the Port Stephens Celtic Association, and Adam Nicholas, President of the Rotary Club of Raymond Terrace, reflected on the event as a tremendous success.
Both expressed their hope to see the festival continue and grow in the future.
“However, for this vision to come to life, greater community support is essential – especially through major sponsorships,” said Adam.
Due to health challenges within the organising team, the 2025 Clans on the Coast Celtic Festival has been postponed.
“While this pause is necessary, it also offers an opportunity: to build a stronger, more vibrant team for the road ahead,” Adam said.
“If you’re passionate about community, culture, and connection, we’d love to hear from you.
“Whether you’d like to volunteer your time, offer sponsorship, or simply find out more, consider joining the Rotary Club of Raymond Terrace or the Port Stephens Celtic Association.
“Together, we can ensure the festival returns stronger than ever.”
