Operating a service such as Sunshine Coach is a very expensive proposition
in today's uncertain economy. Charging our clients for the actual operating
cost of trips would almost certainly make the service cost prohibitive for most
of the people we serve. It is a necessity therefore to provide for shortfalls
not covered by fares through the form of community fund raising and government subsidies.
The purpose of our Telethon is to reach out to you the public and seek your support
in assisting us to continue this valuable service to those among our community who
need it urgently. Your donations are critical to the continued viability of
Sunshine Coach and are appreciated beyond what words can express.
