Pat Cronin Foundation Presentation

Thursday 1 November from 7:00pm

NBC is proud to host Matt Cronin to our club to inform us of the story of his son Pat Cronin who was killed as a result of a cowards punch on Saturday the 16th of April 2016,

Pat went out to a local bar / café for a quiet night and he was punched from behind whilst assisting a mate. He was later taken to hospital and two days later Pat’s family made the agonising decision to turn off his life support system.

Quietly spoken and gentle natured but with a fierce determination, Pat was enormously popular and had a deep love for his family and friends. His death has left a gaping hole in the lives of his family and friends and caused devastation among not only is family but also his friends and the broader communities in which he was involved.

Pat’s family and friends are determined that Pat’s life be honoured and that no other family should face the devastation they now face as a result of his senseless death.

The first intention of the Pat Cronin Foundation is to honour Pat and everything they do will focus on that.

The secondary intention of the Pat Cronin Foundation is to prevent coward punch attacks and we will do this through:

Awareness
Education and,
Research.
Pat was a normal kid from a normal family living in a normal suburb. If this can happen to Pat, it can happen to anyone

Be Wise. There Is No Excuse – END THE COWARD PUNCH

NBC invites all members from all areas of the club to learn and understand more about this tragic event and the important lessons that must be learned.

More information will be provided closer to the date
