International Legends of League
On October 14th, 2024, the International Legends of League (ILOL) returned to Moranbah and held a second memorial game for our son Ethan Stevens. Ethan's own teammates, some travelling over 1000km to play, were reunited earlier in the day to play a game in his memory. We are very grateful to the ILOL, for allowing us the opportunity to shine a light on grief and loss, for bringing our community together for a fantastic weekend of football, for travelling throughout the Isaac region to visit our schools and share their dream, believe and achieve philosophy with students, and for helping launch the funding for the Kids Connecting Parents® App.
The weekend would not have been possible without the many sponsors who generously donate to the ILOL. We were fortunate to meet some of them at the team and sponsors dinner and would like to say thank you to those who kicked off funding with generous donations towards the KCP App. These include Turners Engineering, BP and Ampol Moranbah, OzCar, Barling Finance, Vitrinite, and each player below who donated their game money (Players Player and Player of the Match) or funds raised by auctioning their jersey.
