When it comes to community engagement and giving back, the Horsham Sports & Community Club stands as a shining example of how a collective effort can create a lasting impact. The club is always looking to contribute to the community, by supporting a diverse range of major projects in the Rural City of Horsham.
The figures alone are enough to inspire awe. With a whopping donation of over $315,445, the Horsham Sports & Community Club has proven time and again that its dedication to the community is more than just a catchphrase – it’s a way of life. These generous contributions have breathed life into a myriad of major projects that have left an indelible mark on Horsham and its surroundings.
We must mention the impressive list of projects the Horsham Sports & Community Club has contributed to:
The Lung Function Testing Facility
The 30th-anniversary celebration of the Horsham Sports and Community Club was marked by a generous $30,000 contribution to a community project. The club invited proposals from the community, receiving nominations from individuals, groups, and organisations, each advocating for different initiatives.
After careful consideration, the club’s board narrowed the options to four projects, and club members ultimately voted in favour of allocating the substantial donation to establishing a cutting-edge lung function testing laboratory at Grampians Health’s Alan Wolff Medical Centre in Horsham. This state-of-the-art facility is equipped with an airtight booth that facilitates a wide range of lung function tests, and the test results are seamlessly transmitted electronically to Ballarat Hospital. This laboratory will play a pivotal role in diagnosing and treating respiratory conditions, including asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
The Horsham Sports and Community Club’s generous donation covered over half of the laboratory’s total costs, valued at $55,000. In addition, the club has committed to providing another $50,000 this year for yet another significant community project, further exemplifying their dedication to the betterment of the community.
“Establishing a lung function lab, which is a first in Horsham, will help diagnose respiratory problems faster in the region while reducing travel times for patients who would have otherwise been required to travel to Ballarat to access this service,” said Dr Andre Nel, Deputy Chief Medical Officer, Grampians Health.

Laverton woman thanks ‘manifestation magic’ for Keno win
A Laverton woman shared she was left thanking the universe after she scored a $60,000 Keno Classic 8 Spot prize at Club Laverton in the weeks leading up to last Christmas.
“It was a big surprise! Especially coming up to Christmas, it’s perfect!” she cheered.
“Do you want to hear something really funny? I just wrote in my diary the day before winning, ‘Thank you, universe, for my Keno 8 Spot win’. Then it really came true!
“I’m a firm believer in the law of attraction and manifestation, and I love affirmations!
“It was awesome seeing all eight numbers pop up on the screen.
“I’ve had a few wins in Keno over the years. It’s like the stars align for me when I play - it’s my thing!”
Club Laverton manager Gus Alimovski said the team happily shared in the excitement with their major Keno winner.
“What an incredible win for our patron! It’s always great hearing these winning stories, and now we have another one to share with our patrons,” he said.
“We’re thrilled for our customer, and we hope to see more Keno winners in our venue soon.”
All eyes on a winning FY26
Keno’s National Partner Manager Luke Harrison said he couldn’t wait to see which Victorian clubs welcomed the next big Keno winners.
“Last financial year, players at Victorian clubs celebrated some impressive victories,” he said.
“A key highlight has been the growing popularity of Keno’s Bonus and Replay features among club patrons. This trend reflects how venues are successfully connecting with their customers, sharing updates on jackpot increases, promotional offers, and game enhancements.
“When players opt into Keno Bonus, they unlock the chance to multiply their winnings by up to ten times, while the Replay option adds another layer of excitement.
“Many players are still unaware of these features, making it vital for staff to start conversations and educate them on the full range of Keno possibilities!”
Mr Harrison said the solid Keno performance at Victorian clubs last financial year laid a strong foundation for continued success in FY26.
“Clubs across Victoria are embracing fresh approaches to elevate the customer experience, and Keno’s rising popularity is playing a key role in that journey,” he said.
“There’s also a wide array of Keno resources available to clubs, from eye-catching point-of-sale materials to engaging promotions, all designed to keep the game front and centre.
“As the new financial year unfolds, Keno is looking forward to celebrating more big wins for Victorian club patrons, and more success stories for the clubs that host them.”
