IN MEMORY | VALE JOHN HOBAN

Posted on by

John “Bo” Hoban, a family member of our Senior Captain Harry Burgess, passed away this week while working in Kalgoorlie. Bo was a former junior and colts footballer at Boronia Hawks Football Netball Club, including playing in the 2002 Under 18s premiership winning side.

His family have started a ‘GO FUND ME: John “Bo” HOBAN to help with funeral costs and to bring him back home from WA. Any support would mean a lot to the family in this difficult time.

If you have any other issues or concerns, please feel free to reach out to one of our Board of Directors or Committee Members. The Club is here to support its members and their families so please reach out if there is anything we can do to assist.

Our charity partners Knox Infolink sent in a nice text message to ABC Radio Melbourne yesterday when they were talking about sporting clubs and the community work they do.

A really great listen with Richelle Hunt and Paul Kennedy on the ABC’s The Conversation Hour-Why Sporting Clubs Matter. Here’s some footage from Wednesday night and a snippet of the story.

Thank you very much to everyone who was able to contribute something to support Knox Infolink Inc in their ‘Share the Joy’ Knox Christmas Appeal.

Our donations just get bigger and bigger each year, something you should all be very proud of as these donations do make a big difference. Thanks to Ellen for cooking a BBQ and the fruit afterwards.
