Help Layla get to Perth to referee Nationals!

Hi, I'm Layla. I've been selected to referee at the National School Basketball Championships in Perth. It's a huge opportunity but I need help to get there.

Living in a regional area means that opportunities to referee high-level basketball games are scarce. This is the opportunity of a lifetime for me, one that I've been working toward since I started refereeing five years ago when I was only 11 years old.

In March, I volunteered to referee over three school days at the CHS State Championships held in Bomaderry. During the tournament, I was selected to travel with the PSSA South Coast NSW Boy's Basketball team to the Tri-Schools Tournament in Sydney. At Tri-Schools a team was selected to represent NSW at the National School Basketball Championships. I was chosen to travel with the NSW team as their accompanying referee.

It is an incredible opportunity for a referee from our region to be selected but one that comes with considerable cost. It will cost over $4,000 to travel to Perth with one of my parents.

Please consider helping me to take advantage of this amazing opportunity so that I can continue developing as a referee and bring the experience back to my local association. Anything you can contribute would be so appreciated!
