AFL grand final player Marcus Bontempelli will headline a stellar cast of speakers at this year’s McLardy McShane Christmas lunch and fundraiser.

The Western Bulldogs midfielder will feature along with Leongatha Parrots football coach and motivational speaker Beau Vernon, and TV actor Samuel Johnson.

The brokerage’s annual event supports youth charity the Reach Foundation. It has raised more than $800,000 since the first lunch in 2009.

The December 7 event is at Melbourne’s Docklands. Click here for more information or to register.
