What a fantastic afternoon for Juc’s first big fundraiser of the season! 🏆

With inspiring insights into the life of a dual Winter Olympian from Jakara Anthony, a fascinating look into the world of an Olympic water polo champion from Blake Edwards, and an insightful reflection on the career of Brownlow Medallist Adam Cooney, the afternoon was a huge hit.

Add in the comic relief of Des Dowling, along with heaps of fantastic raffle and auction prizes and professional MCing by the amazing Maddie Brown, and the result was an extremely enjoyable Grand Final Eve Luncheon.

A huge thank you to all our generous prize donors and our major sponsor, Champion Blinds. We also want to acknowledge our wonderful volunteer organisers — Flash Flanders, Brad Papworth and Steve Jewson — as well as our junior club members, who did a fantastic job selling raffle tickets throughout the afternoon.

The event was a huge success, both in entertainment and in funds raised, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of our community.

Thank you to everyone who came along, contributed, volunteered and helped make the afternoon such a memorable one.
