Welcome!
Thank you for visiting the official website of the Donnica Clarke Foundation.
Donnica's site will grow as the Foundation in her name blossoms and will provide information on fundraising events, scholarships and how to apply.
Nica was a dual Australian Surf Life Saving beach sprint and flags champion who died in a tragic cliff fall at North Avoca Beach, on the Central Coast of NSW, on April 10, 2007 aged 16.
The Donnica Clarke Foundation has been established to keep the memory of the bubbly and multi talented teenager at the forefront of the community's minds.
The aim of the Donnica Clarke Foundation is to offer financial and moral support to young athletes, male, and female, across all sports from the Central Coast region of New South Wales, Australia.

Scholarship Holders.
Three of our 2009 Scholarship Holders have commenced the year with outstanding successes.
MATT DAWSON attended the NSW U’16 All Schools Hockey Talented Athlete's Camp at Narrabeen & Homebush.
After 4 days of gruelling fitness testing, skill development & games, We are happy to report he was selected in the NSW U16 All Schools Team that will compete at School Sport Australia Championship in Rockhampton in August.
He is the youngest member of the team & will be eligible to play in the same age group next year.
WADE EAMES, 17 years of age from Kincumber High School, has been selected in the team as a Left Hand Driver. Wade has been working very hard over the past 12 months to gain selection and is looking forward to competing at the World Championships in Sibenik Croatia.
The Australian team will put up a strong showing despite the fact that they will be competing against the strong Europeans.
Wade will be hoping to impress the European talent scouts as he hopes to gain a professional contract to play in either Spain, Italy or Greece after he finishes High School in 2010.
CHLOE COSTELLO recently travelled to Hobart to represent the victorious NSW in the 18 and under Tennis Team at the Australian CHS Titles. Chloe performed exceptionally well and was named in the Australian Merit Team.
Chloe also received the Sportmanship Award for her great attitude and fair play during her matches in the event.
Applications will open in November 2009 for the 2010 DONNICA CLARKE Foundation scholarships. Nomination forms will be available from this website in September 2009.
