The Great Aussie Athlete BBQ
The Aussie Athlete Annual BBQ is a national (and global!) movement held annually each February. It's a celebration of sport, summer and mateship, all while raising vital funds for the Aussie Athlete Fund. This initiative is powered by everyday Australians, schools, clubs, businesses, and Aussies abroad.
Funds raised go to the Aussie Athlete Fund, helping cover training, travel, coaching, wellbeing, and access to sport for young athletes across the country.
