The United Cup today announces the second round of recipients for its inaugural Community Champions Program, further spotlighting local businesses that embody community spirit, multicultural pride, and a passion for sport.
This new pool of six honourees builds on the strong momentum of the first cohort, which showcased the rich cultural fabric and leadership that define Sydney and Perth.
The United Cup Community Champions Program recognises businesses that strengthen local identity, foster a sense of belonging, and make meaningful contributions to the social and cultural life of their communities.
Each selected organisation will receive a United Cup Community Champion accolade, acknowledging their role as local pillars in their community.
United Cup Tournament Director Stephen Farrow said: “The response to the United Cup Community Champions Program has been truly remarkable. Each of our honourees captures the energy and generosity of the communities that make Sydney and Perth so special; the same spirit that fuels our tennis fans and brings people together across cultures.”
“These businesses not only celebrate local identity but also inspire connection, belonging, and pride, both within their neighbourhoods and throughout the United Cup. Their passion reflects the heartbeat of the tournament — a shared love of sport, community, and togetherness — and we’re proud to shine a light on their extraordinary contributions,” Mr Farrow added.
