“It's a great day for the western suburbs. It equals the 1954 Premiership of the Bulldogs,” Mr Twentyman stated.
The fund, founded by Mr. Twentyman, aims to tackle homelessness and poverty, with education, sport and counselling help.
Mr Twentyman stated the cash would be enough to help 1000 more students back into school, with more available to help homeless youth get a meal over the coming year.
John Fowler was privileged to be Mr. Twentyman's guest on this historic day.
