Sports Stars Sleepout13 August 2023 - The Chappell Foundation

Where does my money go?

Every dollar you contribute to Sports Stars Sleepout 2023 goes directly to homelessness charities.

You make our mission possible.

The Chappell Foundation exists to fight the blight of youth homelessness and today supports seven frontline charities that give shelter, food, education and training, healthcare and a fresh start for young Australians.

At TCF we are all volunteers – no salaries, no office – so the funds we raise, net of event costs, go straight to our charity partners. Last financial year our administrative expenses amounted to 0.7% of what we raised from events and donations.

Since 2017, the Foundation has distributed almost $3.7 million to our frontline partners.

Recently, I caught up with a friend whose fourteen-year-old son has fallen in love with cricket. The youngster lives and breathes the game, playing in multiple competitions, including State underage representative carnivals and challenges.

My friend is grateful to be able to share his love for the game with his son, even if it means carting him around to cricket during the Winter as well as the Summer. But he also explained how confused he was about how to help his lad take the next steps the game. The term that kept coming up in his utterings was ‘The Pathway’ or slight variations thereof. I immediately confessed that my understanding of ‘Pathways’ broad but rather shallow. I pointed him to the numerous explanatory public documents published by Cricket Australia and the various State Cricket authorities. I also flagged with him that each has their own pathway that reflects their particular requirements, but that they all feed into the national plan for talent identification and development overseen by Cricket Australia.

Another fascinating Ashes series which again emphasises the importance and relevance of the five Test series. Australia retained the Ashes despite playing the lesser cricket overall.

England won more of the scheduled 75 sessions. They were the aggressors to Australia’s scrambled defenders. England deserved three Test victories and threw away a fourth when they blew clear chances at Edgbaston.

Stokes was far and away the more superior captain: Cummins heroic but flustered, bereft of options, ideas or comeback. His best contributions were glib comments at press conferences.
