 It was a simple promise that Legacy keeps today, providing the same stability, guidance, and assistance that a partner would normally provide to his or her family. In 2023, Legacy is celebrating their centenary with The Legacy Centenary Torch Relay 2023, presented by Defence Health, marking 100 years of service to those who have sacrificed. Beginning in Pozieres, France, in the lead-up to ANZAC Day in 2023, the Centenary Torch has traveled around the world, stopping at all 45 Legacy Clubs worldwide and now reaching Shepparton.

Shepparton Legacy Club is proud to host the Torch Relay on Saturday, 23 September 2023. Legacy is one of Australia's oldest and most trusted charities, and for almost 70 years, Shepparton Legacy has supported the families of those who gave their lives or health for their country. The relay will commence at 10 am from Shepparton Art Museum, with around 17 torchbearers carrying the torch through to Legacy House at 20 Edward Street, Shepparton, where the official lighting of the cauldron will take place. Torchbearers include Legacy Widows, Legacy Wards (Children), and Legatees, and the Shepparton Legacy Torchbearers all have their own unique stories on how Legacy has helped them over the years.

Please join us along the journey on Saturday, 23 September 2023, to cheer on our proud Shepparton Torchbearers.
