The Crusaders will induct four new legends into their Hall of Fame during a charity lunch on Friday, 24 May.
This annual event, established in 2022 by the Crusade with Heart Foundation, aims to make a positive community impact. Last year, the inaugural event raised over $130,000 for I Am Hope and honoured Todd Blackadder, Justin Marshall, and Wayne Smith.
This year’s charity partner is Youth Hub Christchurch, dedicated to improving youth mental health through supported housing facilities.
The charity lunch will be held at Te Pae Christchurch, with over 700 attendees expected.
The event will celebrate the Crusaders’ history and support the construction of the Youth Hub, set to open in late 2024. Crusaders CEO Colin Mansbridge emphasised the importance of community commitment and celebrating the club’s legacy.
