Toowoomba Diocese’s restoration appeal for St Patrick’s Cathedral received a $56,000 boost on Friday thanks to a fundraising lunch with the Brisbane Broncos.
Broncos Legends Lunch guests enjoyed an afternoon hosted by sports broadcaster Ben Dobbin and featuring representatives from the Broncos including chief Dave Donaghy, general manager of football operations Troy Thomson and forward Corey Jensen.
The timing of Jensen’s appearance was particularly significant, coming just one day after he announced his retirement from the NRL.
Guests were given a unique opportunity to hear firsthand reflections on Jensen’s career, his journey through rugby league and his future beyond the game.
The event brought together business leaders, community members and supporters from across the region in support of the ongoing restoration of St Patrick’s Cathedral, one of Toowoomba’s most treasured heritage landmarks.
“The Broncos Legends Lunch was a wonderful opportunity to bring together supporters of both rugby league and heritage preservation,” Toowoomba Diocese said in a statement.
“We are incredibly grateful to our corporate partners and guests whose generosity helped raise $56,000 towards restoring St Patrick’s Cathedral for future generations.”
The funds raised will directly support restoration works at St Patrick’s Cathedral, helping preserve an important place of faith, history and community for the diocese and the wider Darling Downs region.
