Christmas preparations are underway at Legacy! 🎁 Earlier this week, it was all hands on deck as Sydney Legacy put together Christmas hampers and wrapped presents for our families. The holidays can be a difficult time for many of the families we care for, both emotionally and financially. These presents are just one small way we can bring comfort and joy. These Christmas hampers are made possible through a generous donation from Activision Blizzard, whose team also volunteered their time to help prepare the gifts. Sydney Legacy also wrapped some gifts for our upcoming Family & Youth Christmas party, which were kindly donated by Safran. Thank you for helping us make the season brighter for our veterans' families 💙

Thank you, Boeing Australia, for helping us keep the Promise. #RemembranceDay2025

Last Friday, Sydney Legacy held its annual Remembrance Day Lunch. This moving event is a cornerstone of Sydney Legacy’s calendar, bringing together our community in support of our veterans’ families. The words from guest speakers Legacy Junior Annalisa, Mark Donaldson VC and Veteran Liaison Officer Emma Donaldson were incredibly moving and reinforced the importance of Legacy’s mission. A big thank you to our event sponsors, Boeing Australia and Lumia Care, and to all the businesses and individuals who donated prizes to the auctions and raffle. Thank you to Langmeil Winery for supplying the event's wine, to MC Warwick Young CSC, OAM and to the Australian Army Band Sydney for providing musical entertainment. And finally, we would like to extend our gratitude to all the guests who attended. Thank you for supporting veterans' families ❤️ #RemembranceDay2025
