Rackley Swimming is proud to join the Cowboys Community Foundation as a Supporting Partner, bringing together two organisations committed to creating positive outcomes for children, families and communities across North Queensland.

The partnership marks an exciting new chapter for Rackley Swimming in Townsville, strengthening our connection with the local community and creating opportunities to support the health, wellbeing and safety of children across the region.

Supporting Cowboys for Community

As part of the partnership, Rackley Swimming will support Cowboys for Community, a Cowboys Community Foundation program designed to create one clear pathway for community requests received by the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys, Cowboys Leagues Club and Cowboys Community Foundation.

The program provides a consistent way for people, organisations and community groups to seek support, while helping the Cowboys Group identify emerging needs and coordinate the resources available across its three entities.

Each year, the Foundation receives hundreds of requests for assistance from communities and organisations across North Queensland. Rackley Swimming’s support will contribute to the resources required to coordinate and administer these requests, helping the Foundation respond meaningfully to areas of genuine community need.

Rather than individual requests sitting across different parts of the Cowboys Group, Cowboys for Community provides a central pathway to help connect the right resources with the people and causes who need them.

A Shared Commitment to Health and Wellbeing

The partnership is a natural fit for both organisations.

At Rackley Swimming, we believe swimming is about much more than learning a skill. Water safety can be life-saving, while swimming and active recreation play an important role in the health, confidence and wellbeing of children and families.

These priorities closely align with the Cowboys Community Foundation’s focus on creating healthier and stronger communities across North Queensland.

Cowboys Community Foundation CEO Fiona Pelling welcomed Rackley Swimming to the Foundation’s partner family, highlighting the strong alignment between the two organisations.

“We are proud to welcome Rackley Swimming to the Cowboys Community Foundation partner family and to have their support behind a program created to deliver meaningful outcomes for the communities we serve,” Ms Pelling said.

Ms Pelling said Rackley Swimming’s focus on active lifestyles and water safety education for children aligned strongly with the Foundation’s health and wellbeing goals.

The partnership also provides an opportunity for the two organisations to continue building stronger connections with the communities they serve.

Strengthening Communities Across the North

At the heart of Cowboys for Community is the collective strength of the Cowboys Group, bringing together the North Queensland Toyota Cowboys, Cowboys Community Foundation and Cowboys Leagues Club to support the people, organisations and causes making a difference throughout the region.

By providing a consistent and transparent way to consider requests for support, the program helps the Foundation better understand community needs and coordinate the resources available across the Cowboys Group.

Rackley Swimming is proud to play a supporting role in this process.

For our team, being part of the Cowboys Community Foundation family is an opportunity to contribute to the Townsville community in a meaningful way and support the work already being done across the region.

As Rackley Swimming continues to grow its connection with North Queensland, partnerships like this allow us to extend our impact beyond our facilities and into the communities we are proud to serve.

Making a Bigger Splash Together

The partnership marks the beginning of an exciting relationship between Rackley Swimming and the Cowboys Community Foundation. Together, we’re looking forward to supporting initiatives that promote water safety, active lifestyles, health and wellbeing, while helping create positive outcomes for children, families and communities across North Queensland.

We’re proud to dive in alongside the Cowboys Community Foundation and look forward to seeing the impact we can make together.
