Winners of the 2025 Tapworks Cup
Fundraising events are a vital component in the success of Sunshine Coast Affordable Housing Society.
The Tapworks Cup
A Soccer Tournament for Affordable Rental Housing
The Tapworks Cup is more than just a soccer tournament—it’s a celebration of community spirit, teamwork, and generosity in support of affordable rental housing on the Sunshine Coast. Hosted at Shirley Macey Park, the two-day event brings together players of all abilities, local businesses, and fans for a fun-filled weekend that makes a real difference.
In 2025, the Tapworks Cup raised over $22,000 for the Sunshine Coast Affordable Housing Society. Fourteen teams—including hometown favourites and visiting squads—took to the field, cheered on by 450 attendees and supported by 21 generous sponsors. With the help of 14 volunteers, the tournament became a true community-powered success.
From soggy fields and playful bloopers to team names like Grass Stains and Smokey Stovers, the event was filled with good-natured competition and plenty of laughs. On day two, under sunnier skies, the Mixed Bag United team claimed the 2025 championship title.
Join us for the 2026 Tapworks Cup on May 30–31 at Shirley Macey Park and be part of a growing tradition that builds both memories and affordable homes.
1000 Strong for Housing
The 1000 Strong Campaign is a community effort to tackle the housing crisis on the Sunshine Coast. Too many workers and their families are struggling to afford a place to live, forcing them to cut back on essentials and leaving many local organizations short-staffed.
The Sunshine Coast Charitable Housing Society, led by dedicated local volunteers, is building affordable rental homes so that healthcare workers, educators, childcare providers, and other essential service staff can stay and thrive here.
By joining 1,000 others and giving just $10–$20 a month, you’ll help raise $200,000 to support the creation of 200 new affordable rental homes by 2030—ensuring that our community remains strong, resilient, and a place where everyone belongs.
