This Legacy Week, State Member for Ovens Valley Tim McCurdy is encouraging local communities to wear a Legacy badge with pride, knowing that every contribution helps provide hope to the families of those who served.
Mr McCurdy said Legacy Week is a time for Australians to reflect on the enduring impact of service and to show gratitude to the families who continue to carry its weight.
“Legacy embodies the true Australian spirit of mateship, loyalty, and compassion. For generations, they have stood by the families of our veterans and ensured that sacrifice is never forgotten,” he said.
“Whether you purchase a badge, donate to a collection tin, or simply raise awareness in your community, every action makes a difference to a veteran’s family.”
Since 1923, Legacy has been a cornerstone of support for the families of fallen and injured service men and women.
This year, Legacy Week will take place from Sunday, August 31 to Saturday, September 6.
Funds raised during Legacy Week go directly toward vital assistance, from financial and educational support to building a community of strength and compassion for those left behind.
