The first recipient has been a member of the Canterbury Basketball Community.
Her citation reads:
She has been involved with the Mid Canterbury Association for the last 15 years, as a coach, manager, administrator and general dog’s body!
She is very passionate about the game and what it can offer our tamariki and rangatahi, and has played a key role in the growth of basketball in Mid Canterbury.
She was instrumental in the success of their 3×3 pilot programme and the Girls Got Game roll out. She has been the backbone of social basketball, mixed basketball and the women’s league – all have been successfully delivered due largely to her involvement.
She has also been the Manager of the Canterbury Wildcats and involved in the administration, ensuring the smooth running of the team. She is highly respected by all players, coaches, officials and associations she has been involved with.
It’s my pleasure to invite Cedric Cudby Volunteer Award recipient for 2021, Mindy Morrison to please come forward
