Gemma Shumack has always had a strong passion for softball. From early mornings at training to long weekends at games, she has shown dedication, resilience, and a real love for being part of a team. As a proud student of Bass Coast College, Gemma has consistently represented her school with commitment and sportsmanship. Being selected to play in the Under 18 SSV softball team is an exciting opportunity and a reward for all the hard work she has put in over the years.

This trip to Sydney is a big step in Gemma’s journey, giving her the chance to compete at a higher level, challenge herself, and represent both her team and Bass Coast College with pride. It’s not just about playing the game she loves—it’s about building confidence, making new connections, and gaining experiences that will stay with her for life.

However, opportunities like this also come with significant costs. Travel expenses, accommodation, and team uniforms all add up, making it difficult to fully take part without support. This fundraiser will help cover those costs, allowing Gemma to focus on her performance and make the most of this incredible experience.

With the help of this fundraiser, Gemma will be able to travel to Sydney, stay with her team, and proudly wear her uniform as she competes. Every contribution brings her one step closer to achieving her goals and continuing to grow both as an athlete and as a person, while representing her school and community at a higher level.
