Events like our recent HSC Distinguished Achievers Awards require a multitude of support. It would not be possible to host such a function without the generous donations of our corporate sponsors, raffle prize donations, flower sponsors and Lebanese sweet donations. The WLCU Sydney is extremely grateful for the generosity and support of our wonderful Sponsors, and we ask that you may utilise their wonderful services when possible.
