Some of the biggest names in Australia’s sporting history will soon come together for a landmark charity event.
Cricketing greats such as Michael Bevan, Greg Matthews, Frank Misson, Alan Turner, Murray Bennett, Barry Knight and Marshall Rosen will be joined by around 500 of Sydney’s business and community leaders to take part in Northcott’s 20th Anniversary Cricket Legends Lunch at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Northcott is a not-for-profit disability service provider that hosts the annual event to raise money for children and adults with disabilities.
Since its inception, the event has been attended by cricketing greats including the late Richie Benaud OBE, Allan Border AO, Ian Healy, Brett Lee, Glenn McGrath, Geoff Lawson OAM, Frank Misson, Mark Taylor AO, Doug Walters MBE, Mike Whitney, and the Chappell and Waugh brothers.
In addition, some of our current Australian cricketers – all legends in the making – have also attended. These include Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, David Warner and Australian Captain Steve Smith.
With its event partner Cricket NSW, Northcott’s Cricket Legends Lunch has raised an incredible $1.2 million which has allowed hundreds of children and adults living with disability to take part in a wide range of sporting and social activities through Northcott’s Recreation Service. From ski trips and outdoor adventure programs to annual swimming and athletics carnivals, the money raised at the Cricket Legends Lunch has brought joy to countless families in Western Sydney and made a significant impact within the community.
This year’s special 20th Anniversary event will take place on Friday 19 February 2016 at the Noble Bradman Stand at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Pre-lunch drinks will commence at 12.00pm on the hallowed turf of the SCG followed by lunch at 1pm in the Noble Bradman Stand.
