Illawarra Academy of Sport and Illawarra Credit Union Launch Athlete of the Month Program

As a long-standing supporter of the Illawarra Academy of Sport (IAS), we were proud to launch the Athlete of the Month program back in November 2024. This initiative celebrates athletic excellence and core values such as commitment, citizenship, empowerment, integrity, and excellence—values that align perfectly with our ethos here at Illawarra Credit Union. 

Each month during the scholarship year, this exciting program will spotlight one deserving athlete, with winners receiving a $100 award proudly provided by Illawarra Credit Union.

 

 

The very first Athlete of the Month was Charlotte Gray, a talented young netball umpire nominated by her parents and coach for her commitment, integrity, and exceptional sportsmanship. Charlotte’s achievements exemplify the values this award stands for, making her a truly deserving inaugural winner and setting a high standard for her peers. 

IAS CEO Salv Carmusciano shared his enthusiasm for the program. “This initiative provides a platform to celebrate our athletes’ success and their journeys toward professional excellence. We’re grateful to the Illawarra Credit Union for their partnership in making this possible.” 

Illawarra Credit Union CEO Anthony Perkiss echoed this sentiment. “These young athletes inspire us with their dedication and resilience. We’re proud to support them and the Academy in fostering the values that shape future champions.”

Nominations for the next Athlete of the Month are now underway, and we look forward to announcing the next deserving young athlete. Keep an eye on the Illawarra Academy of Sport and Illawarra Credit Union social media platforms for the announcement!
