The 9th annual Brisbane Legends Lunch brought together 140 guests for an afternoon of great food, sporting stories and fundraising in support of the Perry Cross Spinal Research Foundation.
Hosted by Ben Dobbin at Black Hide Steak & Seafood by Gambaro at The Star Brisbane, Queen’s Wharf, the event welcomed an impressive line-up of sporting legends and supporters, all united by a commitment to finding a cure for paralysis.
The Brisbane Legends Lunch has a character of its own. With familiar faces returning each year, the room has the feel of a reunion, bringing people together over great food, sporting stories and a shared commitment to finding a cure for paralysis.
Our Legends, Jai Opetaia, Susan Seipel PLY, Kai Colless, Chelsea Hodges, Michelle Jenneke and Naomi McCarthy OAM OLY, shared stories from their sporting careers, their insights and some memorable moments along the way. Thank you to each of them for joining us and helping make the afternoon such a success.
Over the past nine years, the Brisbane Legends Lunch has raised more than $1 million in support of the Foundation’s mission to find a cure for paralysis. It is an outstanding result made possible by the ongoing support of our guests, sponsors, partners and donors.
