Sports Podge is known for bringing together the great and the good of the sports world. It’s where we celebrate the triumphs, legacies and friendships forged through sport in a relaxed and inclusive environment. This year, we’re joining forces in celebrating 10 years of the amazing Invictus Games Foundation.
Through sport and adventure, the Foundation inspires, improves, and influences the recovery and rehabilitation of a global community of wounded, injured, and sick service personnel. That’s a whole decade of changing lives and saving lives, which we’re sure you’ll agree is truly awesome work.
With over 300 formidable guests, all with their own unique super power, we promise thrills and potential spills (careful now). But most of all, it’s an epic opportunity to catch up with old friends, make new ones and get inspired. No endless awards. No auctions. These are our kryptonite and we promise to save you from them!
