The AFLUA has donated $8,800 from the Jeff Crouch Foundation to the Royal Children’s Hospital as part of their Good Friday Appeal.
The Jeff Crouch Foundation was established in 1995 to perpetuate Jeff’s memory. Jeff umpired 182 VFL games, including 15 finals and 5 VFL grand finals.
Jeff, who passed away in 1994, was a past president, Life Member, Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and an inaugural member of the AFLUA Hall of Fame.
Jeff was the Appeal Director for the Melbourne Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal for 15 years, during which time millions of dollars were raised for this most worthy cause.
The AFLUA has donated more than $61,000 to the Appeal, with this year’s donation being the largest to date.
The cheque was presented by the umpires officiating the Bulldogs vs Lions game on Thursday 30th March 2023, at Marvel Stadium.
