Eels legends from the 1986 Premiership-winning team will be in attendance, alongside current NRL and NRLW players, offering guests a rare opportunity to celebrate the champions who built the Club’s legacy and the players driving it forward today.

Guests will enjoy an exclusive program including live panel discussions, untold stories from the 1986 campaign, and engaging conversations with current players, alongside raffles and auctions showcasing premium Eels memorabilia and unique experiences.

At the heart of the evening is the purpose of the Eels Foundation. The Foundation provides an opportunity for members, fans and partners to contribute directly to the long-term success of the Club. Funds raised help deliver world-class resources and facilities for Academy programs and strengthen the Club’s deep and meaningful connection with the community.

The Eels Foundation message is simple: we must invest, nurture and care for our people so we can remain one of the strongest sporting organisations in the country for years to come.
