About the Awards

Maccabi Victoria Annual Volunteer Awards

Volunteers are the heart of Maccabi Victoria - passionate, committed, knowledgeable and skilled, our volunteers ensure players engage in their favourite healthy physical activity and connect with others in our community. Their input credits us with one of the strongest sporting networks in Australia. Maccabi Victoria recognises the significant contribution of volunteers to Governance, Foundation, every club and Event/Project Committee.

The Maccabi Victoria Volunteer Thank You/Recognition Awards Cocktail Reception , held during National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to thank each and everyone of our valuable Maccabi Victoria volunteers. 

We acknowledge, with a presentation, the outstanding achievements and contribution of our Maccabi Victoria Club Presidents to their sports of the Maccabi Victoria Club 

Club Volunteer Awards are presented annually recognising the hard working volunteers who are the foundation of our clubs and enable 4600 players to get active and remain healthy every year. They act as role models for our young players and are acknowledged here for their huge contribution  and commitment over a long period doing whatever it takes to make a club successful. Each club is invited to nominate one volunteer to be honoured with this award 

The President’s Award In recognition of longstanding contribution and outstanding services to Maccabi Victoria, and the Lenny Bogatin award - for outstanding services to Maccabi Victoria & Jewish Sport , are perpetual awards awarded annually.
