🏆 Our congratulations go out to Rhianna Crowden from Low Head who won the Lowkey Legend category at our Inspiring Youth Awards last week.

The Lowkey Legend Award recognises someone who brings positive energy, supports others and leads by example. They're the kind of person people genuinely look up to and respect. Rhianna at just 13 years old is all that and more!

After several of her teachers and family members were diagnosed with cancer, she organised a 15km-plus fun run/walk and BBQ fundraiser herself, gaining council approval and approaching local businesses for donations.

The event raised $4,003 in its first year, with more than 65 people attending, and she ran it again this year with her little sister Izzy, raising $4,234.

She finished Grade 6 at South George Town Primary with excellent grades and the RSL Bursary Award, and gives up her school holidays to attend ANZAC services and volunteer with The Missing Pieces for the Cancer Council.

Her mum, Brooke, says Rhianna never seeks attention or acknowledgement and does it all out of the goodness of her heart.

Congratulations Rhianna and thanks Hardings Group for their sponsorship of the 2026 awards.
