With almost half (42%) of local sports clubs unable to source enough volunteers to remain viable^, Cadbury recognises the challenges and need to support local sporting clubs. Through its unwavering commitment and legacy of supporting Australian sport, Cadbury aims to increase volunteer participation across the country.
The Awards recognise individuals who make a positive impact in their sporting community; celebrating volunteers and clubs that best embody the ten sporting values that are featured on the ten limited-edition, specially designed Cadbury Dairy Milk blocks. The sporting values include courage, inspiration, leader, legend, mate, respect, sportsperson, purpose, and team spirit, as well as Cadbury Australia’s ‘Cheer and a Half.’
In a show of appreciation for their exceptional dedication to the nation's sporting community, local clubs will receive a $15,000 grant to support their operation and management. Additionally, the winning volunteer will receive an individual award of $2,500.
