Nominate your local dad to be crowned Australia’s "Philips Community Sports Dad of the Year”
Australians are being called upon to nominate local dads in the community for the 2024 Philips Community Sports Dad
With nominations closing this Sunday, 18 August via sportsdads.com.au, the prestigious Award provides an opportunity to recognise those dads who make a difference just in time for Father’s Day on Sunday, 1 September 2024. Whether it be cheering from the sidelines to carpooling to games, coaching or helping to raise funds for equipment, every little bit counts.
The winner will receive a Philips male grooming pack valued at over $1,000 RRP, as well as a $5,000 Rebel Sports voucher to purchase new clothing or sporting equipment for the community sports club of choice.
Anthony Minichiello, Roosters legend, previous winner of the Philips Celebrity Sports Dad of the Year and proud dad to a daughter emphasised the importance of the program in championing community
In 2023, Daly Cherry-Evans, Captain of Manly Warringah Sea Eagles was awarded Philips Celebrity Sports Dad of the Year, attesting his success to his family’s support and instilling these same values in fatherhood. He emphasised that all parents and volunteers should be celebrated for their dedication in growing the next generation in sport.
These values were celebrated in last year's Philips Community
Selected from thousands of entries across Australia, McKervey who donated the prize to increasing participation and purchasing new jerseys said: “If you find something you love doing, then volunteering is not work. It can be fun and rewarding. I just enjoy coaching and seeing our two clubs thrive, that’s all that I ask for!”
Nominations close midnight AEST on 18 August 2024.
