Good Afternoon,

I am inviting Rotary Clubs of WA to apply for

 a National Road Safety Week event grant of up to $5000

to raise awareness and shine a light for road safety.

 This could be achieved by holding a community event

 and/or lighting a local landmark/s, bridge or iconic building/s in yellow light.

National Road Safety Week is from 3–10 May, 2020.

 It is an annual initiative created by the

 Safer Australian Roads and Highways (SARAH) Group

 and is supported by the State Government of Western Australia, 

including the Road Safety Commission.

Every year, more than 1200 people are killed

 and 35,000 seriously injured on Australian roads.

In remembrance for those people who have sadly lost their lives on our roads,

 and for the families left behind, 

Western Australian landmarks across the country regions

 and including Perth locations such as

 Yagan Square, Elizabeth Quay, the Bell Tower, 

Trafalgar Bridge and Council House,

 will light the night in yellow light, across the week.

 Community events honour those we have lost and ask community

 to pledge to make the roads safer for everyone,

  to drive so others survive.

In previous years, State and local government

 and community groups around WA have had grants

 approved for a variety of activities,

 including lighting the night with local/regional iconic buildings

 in yellow light, holding road safety seminars, 

bicycle safety workshops, cycling events, a morning tea pledge

 to Drive So Others Survive, Road Safety Quiz nights,

 and many more.

I would be happy to discuss your ideas and

 guide you through the online application process.

 In addition, to promote the availability of these grants 

with your community, can I ask that you share the attached

 social media post on your website to encourage local schools,

 service clubs, local community organisations 

and groups to apply online and participate.

If you encountered a technical issue earlier in the week, 

our apologies, the issue has now been resolved.

  We encourage you to revisit the page.

Thank you for supporting this important national initiative.

Kind Regards
