We’re proud to announce Steve Cook and Georgia Butler as this fortnights recipients of the WA Local Sporting Stars Volunteer Recognition Program.

Steve has been a driving force behind Karratha Hockey for more than 15 years, contributing across every level of the club, from delivering school programs and coaching to securing funding and leading as President. His inclusive, positive approach has helped create a welcoming environment for players of all ages and abilities.

Georgia has been honoured for her incredible impact at Kelmscott Baseball Club, where she coaches T-Ball, supports the growing junior program and now leads as Junior Coordinator. Balancing volunteering with study, work and personal challenges, Georgia’s resilience and passion continue to inspire the next generation of players.

The WA Local Sporting Stars Volunteer Recognition Program celebrates a broad range of volunteer contributions, including youth leadership, long-standing service, inclusive participation, innovation and all-round support within sporting communities.

Nominations for future recipients remain open, with winners selected by a dedicated panel throughout the program. Community members are encouraged to nominate the volunteers who make a difference in their local clubs and help keep sport strong across Western Australia. Recognise your Volunteers here.
