We’re proud to support Dylan Secher with a $600 Magpies Community Grant as he competes at the UCI World BMX Racing Championships in Copenhagen, Denmark.
After earning a 2A plate at the 2024 National BMX Championships in Perth, Dylan secured his spot on the Australian team in the Challenge Class for 2025. Competing in the 13–14yrs Boys Cruiser category, he made it to the finals and finished 7th in the world.
This grant helps cover costs like flights, accommodation, registration, race gear and insurance as Dylan continues to represent Australia at the highest level.

Congratulations to Mackay Central State School! 🎉

We’re proud to support the school through our Thriving Communities Grant - helping them take the next step toward purchasing their very own branded gazebos.

Currently, students use borrowed gazebos from another school, a generous gesture that also highlights their need for dedicated outdoor shelters. These new gazebos will provide proper shade and protection for lessons, lunch breaks, sports, and community events — all while building school pride and a stronger sense of belonging. 💛

Magpies is proud to help support this initiative and help create better outdoor learning spaces for local students! 🙌

We’re excited to support Country United Football Club with a Magpies Thriving Communities Grant! ⚽

The grant will help fund portable dugouts to improve player welfare, professionalism, and accessibility for football programs in Walkerston and at away games. These dugouts will provide shelter from sun and rain, boost game-day morale, and show the club’s commitment to player safety and inclusivity.

We wish the club all the best with this fantastic project! 💛

🏆💃 We’re thrilled to announce that the Time to Shine – Women in Sport Grant has been awarded to local talent Sarah Purnell, who represented Mackay at the 2025 Irish Dancing World Championships — and took out 1st place in the Under 32 category, earning her title as a 3x World Champion!

Sarah proudly trains right here in Mackay, supported by a team of local allied health professionals. The Magpies Community Grant helped her cover travel and accommodation costs on her journey to the world stage.
