Fairgo Football is incredibly honoured to announce that on the 18th of November, Jonny O'Connor, Director of Fairgo Football, was awarded the 2024 Volunteer of the Year award for the City of Caulfield.
This award was part of the Annual Volunteer of the Year Awards - celebrating the contributions of individuals across the Caulfield community. In the sporting category, there were 12 nominees; and we are thrilled that Fairgo Football has been recognised as the winner!
As a result of this announcement, local State Member David Southwick MP, in partnership with Community Bank Caulfield Park, awarded $1,000 to Fairgo Football.
After receiving the award, Jonny O’Connor said, “I want to thank David Southwick MP and Bendigo Community Bank for their generosity. Also a huge thank you to the Ormond Junior Football Club and James Warfe, Ormond JFC Vice President for the nomination. While I was nominated for this award, I could not have received it without the amazing volunteers and coaches who dedicate their time and effort to make this program possible. Most importantly though, I want to say a huge thanks to the parents, carers, and participants—you are the heart and soul of Fairgo Football. This program thrives because of your commitment, support, and enthusiasm.”
Thank you to all of those across the community for being part of Fairgo Football in 2024, we are looking forward to 2025!
