Coden Stenhouse is just eighteen months old, but but he is already well known and loved in his home town of Lake Cargellico in the Riverina.The Tullibigeal Lakes United Sharks rugby league club held a very successful charity day on 26th June, with more than $12,500 raised for Down Syndrome NSW! The local community really got behind the day, at which Coden was the mascot, in his own tailor made Sharks jersey.
Coden with his cousins, Jaden and Tenayah Kelly modelling the charity jerseys that were so succesfully auctioned on the day.
The event was big news in the Lakes News. Coden is pictured with his Mum, Deanna.
Organiser Kerry Amoamo reports that the weather was perfect, the crowd huge and the auction of football jerseys awesome, under the gavel of Dasher Frankel. Coden had a great day, along with his little friend from Condobolin, Jock. Junior, senior and first grade matches between the Sharks and the West Wyalong Mallee men entertained the crowd.
Funds were also raised through a raffle and donations. Kel's Kitchens provided the much appreciated coffee, and donated the proceeds.
Our grateful thanks to the community of Lake Cargellico and Tullibigeal for your generosity and support for the organisation, and for Coden and his family.
