Invitation – 2018 JCF Community Event

SUNCORP SUPER NETBALL MATCH Sunshine Coast Lightning vs Melbourne Vixens

Following the success of last year’s event we are doing it again! Join us for a home match of the Sunshine Coast’s very own netball team to celebrate June’s love of netball and our partnerships with The Confident Girls Foundation and the University of the Sunshine Coast.

Many of you will know how much June loved her netball. After playing for Wangaratta, she travelled to NZ to play in the regional competition there, before going on to represent Queensland and win a University Blue for netball. Imagine how excited she would be to know that the Sunshine Coast is now home to one of the 8 professional teams in the brand new Super Netball Competition. Where the players get paid!

So join members of the Board at our next JCF Friends gathering, to celebrate our partnership with the Netball Foundation and the University of Sunshine Coast.

We have a limited number of premium courtside seats with pre-match hospitality and a chance to meet some of the Lightning players and their wonderful coach Noeline Taurua. Saturday June 2nd, 3.00pm,  University of the Sunshine Coast, Sports Stadium 90 Sippy Downs Road, Sippy Downs
