On the first week of February, the Dolphins boys and girls pulled together to give a mate a helping hand. After A grader Arthur Little's sister, Natalie, was severely bashed and left in a permanent vegetative state, the family needed a specialised van to transport her around.

With the help of major sponsor, the Beach Palace, and a junior sponsor, The Beast, the Dolphins were able to put on a massive fundraising night with a monster raffle and a sports memorabilia auction. Numerous sporting personalities including the likes of Wendell Sailor, Reni Matua, and Sonny Bill Wiliams came down to support their mate.

At the end of the night, with the support of the Palace, the generous people in the local community who had donated prizes, and of course the people who had travelled far and wide to lend their support, the Dolphins raised $25,000 to help Natalie and her family.

A great effort for this year's first Dolphin charity fundraiser. Helping those less fortunate is what we are all about.
