It is with great pleasure that we announce Jodie White as our Milperra Lions Club Volunteer for 2025. Jodie has been a passionate and dedicated member of the club for many years, beginning as a proud supporter, wife to Luke and mum to two sons who have both played at Milperra Lions.

In 2024, Jodie officially joined the committee, bringing fresh energy, creativity and innovation. As Under-16s Team Manager and Publicity Officer, she transformed the club’s online presence by revamping the website and managing our social media platforms, resulting in increased community engagement and growth across the club.

Jodie’s contributions extend well beyond the sidelines. As our unofficial club photographer, she has captured moments across all teams while also preserving club history through digitising archives, restoring flood-damaged records and updating the honour board. She has played a key role in reviving the All Age Ladies team, supporting girls’ football pathways, leading fundraising initiatives, organising Senior Presentation, and in 2025 taking on the demanding role of Canteen Supervisor, already boosting revenue and mentoring new volunteers.

Jodie’s commitment to fairness, family and community shines through in everything she does. We are incredibly grateful for her dedication and proud to have Jodie as part of the Milperra Lions family.
