Sydney Roosters NRLW winger Brydie Parker has been nominated for the 2023 Veronica White Medal for her unwavering commitment to community programs and initiatives.
Despite her rigorous schedule, Brydie generously volunteers her time to make sure the Sydney Roosters community programs have long-term success.
Striving to make a positive impact at the grassroots level of rugby league, Brydie has worked with junior clubs and schools through the Road to Regions initiative to engage and empower the next generation of stars.
Brydie’s passion for helping others extends beyond the local community. In May, she was an enthusiastic member of the Steggles Regional Roadshow, making the trip to Griffith to visit local charities and schools before hosting a skills clinic.
Whether it’s delivering health and wellbeing programs to children, meeting with school staff, conducting junior clinics or attending charity events, Brydie understands the positive influence athletes can have on communities.
Brydie demonstrated her compassion at the Sydney Children's Hospital Foundation Sick Kids Day Campaign; icing doughnuts, taking photos, signing memorabilia but most importantly - bringing genuine smiles and laughter to all.
She also took the time to make important connections with the Roosters Physical Disability Rugby League Team in their tour of Allianz Stadium, staying back after training to meet with the team and discuss all things rugby league.
Proudly wearing the Tricolours jersey, Brydie continues to enthusiastically promote the game of rugby league in her community, and beyond.
