Event (not a game)

Australia Day is commemorated on January 26th.  In Australia, it's celebrated with barbecues, beach cricket, and other merriment.

Australia Day is celebrated each year on January 26th.  This year, it will feel quite different.

We have seen the images and heard the stories coming out of Australia with regards to the fires that have raged on for the past several months.  The toll it has taken – dozens of human lives, many homes, at least a billion animals, and what is sure to be a long lasting effect on the environment – has been stunningly tragic.

It has left us, as a community, asking what we can do to help.

ANZAC Day, commemorated on April 25th every year, honors the memory and valor of Australians who have served their country and given the ultimate sacrifice.  It is a link of generations, from those who battled at Gallipoli, to the brave men and women of today.

Woven within the fabric of the day is the game of football; for among those who were the first Australians who lost their lives were the heroes of the oval, their future cut short so that future generations can enjoy the fruits of life.

Australia Day commemorates the landing of the the first fleet of British ships in Port Jackson Harbour, Sydney, in 1788.  Traditionally celebrated with cricket, barbeques, cold beverages, and the like, the fesitivities will not be limited just to Australia.
