Tooheys has announced the Tooheys New South Wales Flood Relief donation initiative in partnership with North Coast Hotel Group Venues (NCHG), C.ex Group and the Australian Hotels Association of New South Wales (AHA NSW).
The initiative sets out to help the urgent flood recovery relief being carried out across affected areas of the state, particularly in the Hunter and Mid-North Coast areas.
C.ex Group General Manager, Jeff Cox praised the industry for its collective efforts.
“It’s excellent to see our industry come together for a good cause. We welcome those impacted directly or indirectly to come and enjoy a beer and help raise much needed funds.”
From 12 June – 9 July 2025, for every schooner of Tooheys sold at participating NCHG and C.ex venues throughout the Mid-North coast of NSW, Tooheys, NCHG and C.ex Group will donate 50c to GIVIT, the national not-for-profit organization helping Australians experiencing hardship receive the essential items and services they need.
The AHA NSW has also rallied behind the cause, donating $25,000 directly to support this initiative.
AHA NSW Director of Liquor and Policing, John Green said: “Our hotels are doing it tough right now, and so any support we can provide we will do. We hope that through this initiative our members, their patrons and the wider community can benefit and get some relief where it is needed most.”
Lion NSW Field Sales Director, Greg Watt, said this initiative continues the company’s commitment to supporting the state.
“For over 150 years, Tooheys has proudly backed the New South Wales community and are committed to playing our part in disaster recovery,” he said.
“It’s fantastic to have partners such as the North Coast Hotel Group and AHANSW who can help us stand shoulder to shoulder with our local communities up in the Mid-North Coast to support our neighbours who are facing difficult times following the floods.”
Chris Staines, CEO of GIVIT expressed gratitude to the support from Lion and Tooheys.
“GIVIT is grateful to Tooheys for supporting our work assisting communities in the Mid-North Coast and Hunter regions of New South Wales that have been devastated by floods. GIVIT will use funds raised to ensure people have access to the essential goods and services they need to rebuild after this disaster.”
Sharing in the collective sentiment, Co-owner of NCHG, Charlie Nalder welcomes New South Welshmen into its venues to show support to their state.
“We are thrilled to help do our bit in supporting our community up here in the Mid-North Coast in getting back on their feet. Our doors are open to welcome anyone who is able to show their support simply by purchasing a schooner,” he said.
