February 27, 2025
On Tuesday, CEO Katie Acheson, along with Head of Partnerships Krisztina Javor, Partnerships Manager Carolina Pye, and Lived Experience Storyteller Melanie Philippou, were fortunate enough to attend Fitzy, Wippa and Kate’s Backyard Cricket at Kirribilli House in Sydney.
The event brought together some big names in sport, television and entertainment including Raygun, Matty J, Chloe Molloy, Nedd Brockmann, Shannon Noll, Shayna Jack and Richard Wilkins.
Fitzy and Wippa’s teams also included a line up of special guests including Ben Fordham, Colin Fassnidge, Dr Andrew Rochford, Matt Shirvington, Hugh Van Cuylenburg, Angela Cox, Mel McLaughin, and Mark Ferguson.
Joined by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns MP, the batyr team enjoyed watching all the action of the star-studded game.
After the game, NOVA Entertainment generously donated $10,000 to support our preventative youth mental health programs.
We would like to thank NOVA Entertainment for championing youth mental health and standing with batyr and Lifeline as charity partners, as well as a thank you to UnLtd for making this incredible opportunity possible.
