Supporting our Farmers – Sydney to Canberra walk

Sreeni Pillamarri (C2) is one of our quiet achievers who makes an enormous Community contribution. Apart from being a talented cricketer, Sreeni is on our Club Executive, is President of the United Indian Association and is a Member of the Telugu Association.

He has now organised and is about to embark on his latest Community contribution – a 380 kilometre walk from Sydney to Canberra to raise funds to help drought affected Farmers. This will take 10 days of solid walking and they plan on raising $250,000!

This will also get a lot of media coverage and Sreeni will be proudly displaying our Club logo. So let’s get behind Sreeni and his Team and support this great cause where 100% of contributions go to our Farmers.
