Volunteers are the lifeblood of community sport, and every year we recognise their invaluable contribution through the Townsville Junior Touch Football Joanne Sale Award for Volunteer of the Year.
First presented in 2016, the award recognises those individuals that go above-and-beyond throughout the year to help their club, the organisation (Townsville Junior Touch Football), and the sport of touch football.
In 2018, with the blessing of the Sale family, Townsville Junior Touch Football named the award to honour the memory of one of our sports most dedicated volunteers - touch football stalwart and late president of the Frogs Touch Club, Joanne Sale.
Nominations for the Joanne Sale Award for Volunteer of the Year are open for three weeks from the start of November each year, with all nominees (one per club) being announced on Semi Final night (Friday) and the overall winner being announced the following week (Grand Final night).
To nominate a dedicated volunteer from your club, speak to your club committee or contact TJT.
