Sponsorship for nippers

The Sunshine Coast Airport, in a new partnership arrangement with Jetstar, has unveiled a $40,000 sponsorship deal to help support the 15 nippers clubs in the Sunshine Coast region.

The sponsorship will be used to fund much needed beach equipment and uniforms for Surf Life Saving Queensland’s nippers clubs from Redcliffe to Rainbow Beach. The Surf Life Saving Clubs train thousands of local children in water safety education each year.

Sunshine Coast Regional Council deputy mayor Tim Dwyer said the nippers and what they stood for in terms of a fun, energetic, safe and smart lifestyle activity matched the brands of both the council-owned Sunshine Coast Airport and Jetstar.

“I am involved in a local surf lifesaving club and I know how important this type of sponsorship is for local clubs,” Cr Dwyer said.
