🏀 Geelong’s Wheelchair Basketball Corporate Cup – Friday 27 June 2025 ♿
Geelong East Rotarians were delighted to support this year’s Wheelchair Basketball Corporate Cup, held at Try Boys Stadium, East Geelong.
Working alongside Rotarians from Bayside Geelong and Greater Geelong, we helped serve hot food to participants, spectators, and supporters throughout the day. The event was hosted by our friends at genU and Leisure Networks, with a strong focus on fostering diversity, inclusion, and teamwork—all through the fun (and surprisingly exhausting!) game of wheelchair basketball.
🏆 Teams from Harcourts, Hamlan Homes, Incitec Pivot, Geelong United, Hamilton Group, genU, and Leisure Networks competed in good spirit, with Geelong United taking home the Cup. We hope to see even more organisations involved next year! The Cup was named after Kaye Coleman.
🎧 It was also great to reconnect with Ryan Schmidtke, one of our 2025 Shine On Award nominees, who served as the event DJ. And a special moment for many was meeting Sam McIntosh, an Australian Paralympic wheelchair racer who has represented our country at four Paralympic Games and five World Championships—and is still competing!
đź’™ Proceeds from the day will go towards equipment and program delivery for genU and Leisure Networks clients in the Geelong region. As an added bonus, leftover food was generously donated to the Christ Church Community Meals Program.
