What is Legacy Day in Australia?

They give back to the families of those who gave so much to our country. 

Legacy Week is a significant fundraising event for many Australians. The funds raised benefit over 100,000 war widows, 1900 children, and people with disabilities. It's also a time when we, as a nation, come together to remember and honour the sacrifices made by our soldiers and their families. This act of remembrance is a powerful expression of our respect and appreciation.

Our Nowra group supports 200 widows and 15 school-age children. 

This year, Legacy Badge Week, a key part of our fundraising efforts, will be held across the Nowra region from 1 to 5 September.

Year 10 Defence students will sell legacy-approved merchandise, including well-known bears, pen sets, and other items, or accept gold coin donations from students who wish to contribute. 

Sales will be at lunch outside the Library on the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th, and 9th of September - EFTPOS available.
