Celebrate NAIDOC week with your Coburg Lions.
To coincide with NAIDOC week the Coburg Lions will be running a host of game day events, for their round 14 clash against the Sandringham Zebras.
The 4th of July marks the start of NAIDOC week. Originally standing for the ‘National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee’ it is now a week long celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, culture and achievements, and recognises Indigenous Australians’ contributions to our country.
On field our boys will be wearing a one off Indigenous Jumper, designed by the talented Shelley Ware from the Marngrook footy show with assistance from her husband Steven.
The jumper was designed from scratch, and features traditional Indigenous songlines. All 23 will be auctioned off post game on our website.
Pre-game, there will be a ‘Welcome to Country’ and flag raising ceremony, as well as the singing of the National anthem.
Meanwhile, our guest at the Presidents luncheon will be 2001/2002 Coburg, and current St Kilda head coach, Alan Richardson.Tickets for the event can still be purchased, contact Info@coburgfc.com.au.
The club is a proud supporter of this celebration of Indigenous history and culture and we hope to see you all, as we take on Sandringham and celebrate NAIDOC week! Development starting at 11am, Seniors at 2pm.
