Gordon volunteer wins AFL award

KELLEE Frazer from the Gordon Football and Netball Club has won the AFL Community Volunteer of the Year award.

In recognition of her service to her club and community over the past 20 years, Ms Frazer was also presented with a $40,000 Toyota Corolla Hatch SX Hybrid.

She said she was overwhelmed and honoured to accept such an accolade.

“I love being involved in a fantastic community club in Gordon,” she said.

“There are so many people that assist me and help with my role.

“A huge thanks to the AFL for this award and also to Toyota as well for supporting grassroots footy in the way they do.”

There were 13 national category awards this year and 91 state/territory winners.

Each national winner will be invited to Melbourne in September for a 2024 AFL Grand Final experience.

AFL executive general manager game development Rob Auld said there are more than 220,000 volunteers in Australia who play vitally important roles for their clubs and the awards highlight some of the most significant individuals and clubs.

“Congratulations to all national and state category winners and thank you to Toyota for being long-serving supporters of the game at all levels,” he said.
