Little Legs Foundation sets monopoly World Record in memory of Alegra Vasiliou

·

In a heartwarming and record-breaking event held on Sunday, March 30, the Little Legs Foundation officially set a new Guinness World Record for the most people playing Monopoly in a single venue.

The event took place at The Venue in Alexandria, where 918 participants gathered — well above the previous record of 733 — to play a game close to their hearts: Alegra’s Army, a custom Monopoly edition created in honour of six-year-old Alegra Vasiliou.

The foundation, established in memory of Alegra, who tragically passed away in 2017 after a ten-month battle with brain cancer, has since raised $2.83 million for research into childhood brain cancer.

Alegra’s legacy continues to inspire, and Sunday’s event was a shining testament to her impact on the community.

Participants played using Alegra’s Army, an officially licensed Monopoly edition by Hasbro, specially designed to commemorate Alegra’s courageous spirit. The energy in the room was electric, with players of all ages uniting for a cause greater than the game itself.

The event was hosted by Rob Shehadie and Tahir, with Guinness World Record adjudicator Brian Sobel present to confirm the achievement. NSW Minister for Finance, the Hon Courtney Houssos served as an official witness on the day.

The Little Legs Foundation continues to honour Alegra’s memory with initiatives that inspire action, raise awareness, and support vital medical research — carrying forward the brilliance and determination of a little girl who left a lasting legacy.
