It is once again my great pleasure to serve as patron of the 2022 IMB Bank Cook Community Classic.

Now in its fifteenth year, the Classic is a great family day out, celebrating and supporting local organisations that make our community strong.

To date the Classic has raised around $1.5 million for over 90 local charities and community organisations such as Civic Disability Services, Project Youth, Giants Baseball Club, Kurnell Mens Shed and many others.

The IMB Bank Cook Community Classic relies on the generous support of our local surf lifesaving clubs and I once again thank Cronulla, North Cronulla, Elouera and Wanda for their willingness to support our wider community.

I also extend my gratitude to all of the corporate sponsors, particularly IMB Bank who have been with the Classic since its inception and are once again the major sponsor. I thank them for their continued support. I would also like to thank all sponsors who stayed on during the pandemic to support the Classic, despite the event being cancelled.

All of the sponsors contribute to making the Classic an uplifting event which celebrates our community and brings it together.

The charities and community organisations supported through the Classic are run by dedicated staff, often volunteers, who make tremendous efforts to care for our community and beyond.

Please take the time to support these organisations by purchasing a ticket in the raffle or by coming along to enjoy the carnival atmosphere and take part in the activities during the day.

This year the event will be bigger and better than before, and will return to our original location at Cronulla Beach and Park.
