🏆❤️🤍🖤 THE 2026 CJFC PRESIDENTS AWARD ❤️🤍🖤🏆

Presented by : President Heath Gilmore

The CJFC Presidents Award recognises the often unseen, behind-the-scenes efforts of a volunteer who goes above and beyond for our club… and this year there was absolutely no one more deserving than our very own Ellie Avery-Crawford!

After a couple of years of helping here and there, Ellie officially joined the committee this year and well… let’s just say she understood the assignment.

There probably wasn’t a single home game where you couldn’t find her somewhere — helping in the canteen, serving behind the bar, selling raffle tickets or generally popping up wherever there was a job to be done.

Ellie gives her time because of her love for CJFC, her community and, of course, her little brother. ❤️

Ellie is what we’d affectionately call our Personality Hire. 😂 And thankfully, she put those people skills to VERY good use.

This year, at the very last minute raffle, Ellie jumped straight in to organising a raffle, because why not! This included sourcing prizes, sorting logistics, selling tickets and making the whole thing happen. Combined with last year’s raffle efforts, Ellie has now single-handedly raised more than $5,000 towards our club and our new scoreboard! 👏👏

Ellie, thank you for the energy, enthusiasm, laughs, ideas, hard work and countless hours you’ve given to CJFC. Volunteers like you are what keep community clubs going, and we are incredibly lucky to have you.

A very deserving winner of the 2026 CJFC Presidents Award. ❤️🤍🖤
