More than 100 participants were recognised with awards at The Disability Trust’s annual Sport and Recreation awards evening at The Fraternity Club in Fairy Meadow last Saturday night.
There were 250 people in attendance at the annual presentation night hosted by Josh Webster, our emcee for the event.
We would like to thank the Sport and Recreation team for putting on such a great night and Ray White Dapto & Horsley for their ongoing support of this event.
The night was about celebrating the success of all our participants across many programs and a great chance for them to come together and socialise with each other as they supported each other’s accomplishments.
It was great to see the room full of smiles and laughter as we came together to celebrate a successful 12 months full of many personal achievements for all participants. Every participant went home feeling like a winner.
We’re proud of the efforts and achievements of all our participants across our services. Not only do they thrive in the Sport & Rec programs, they also get lifelong friendships and learn the value of teamwork and pushing themselves to do their best to reach their goals.
There were eight participants who were recognised for 20 years of service in Sport and Rec programs: Natalie Adams, Clare Berry, Prue Iacovelli, Emily Clarke, Alyssa Cukalevski, Timothy McGovern and Amy Walker.
Sport & Rec staff members voted for a participant from each program to receive the award.
