It is our great pleasure to announce the major charity that will be supported by this year’s Playmates.

Four actors from six South Coast theatre and entertainment companies will be sharing the stage in the annual showcase raising funds and more importantly awareness for local groups doing wonderful things in the local community.

One such group is the Denny Foundation, who are an impressive local Health Promotion Charity. The Denny, who have a broad outreach and philosophy are currently expanding their StreatBeat service, which is a targeted information and support service for youth, families and adults on the streets in the Illawarra. They are a passionate group who help to alleviate hunger on the streets, including taking their services to several areas in the Wollongong and Shellharbour region.

Along with the donation of all proceeds from Playmates 2012, the Playmates cast and crew will be looking to spending an evening with the Denny Foundation, as well as several other local charity groups supporting individuals and families on the streets.
