Variety Toyota AFL Grand Final Lunch

The Footy Lunch with Heart

Thank you for an incredible 2023 Variety Toyota AFL Grand Final Lunch!

We're still buzzing with excitement from this year’s event, and we can't express our gratitude enough to all who attended, supported, and sponsored the Variety Toyota AFL Grand Final Lunch! Your generosity and commitment to making a difference is truly inspiring.

With immense excitement, we are happy to announce that we reached our fundraising goal to grant TWO Variety Sunshine Coaches - one to Cobram and District Specialist School and the other to Nepean School in Seaford. This is going to make a significant impact on the schools and the children who attend. We're not just granting a bus, but independence, inclusivity, and opportunities.

Until then!
