The St Ives Basketball Club in Pymble has 5,000 reasons to celebrate the New Year as one of the lucky winners of the 2009 NRMA Everyday Sporting Legends Program.

NRMA Motoring & Services and Rebel Sport teamed up for the first time last year to support sport in NSW and ACT communities with up to $150,000 in Rebel Sport gift cards up for grabs.

Rugby League legend and NRMA Director Geoff Toovey said the NRMA was flooded with entries from primary and secondary schools, sports teams and individuals wanting their chance to receive a $10,000, $5,000 or $500 Rebel Sport gift card.

"St Ives Basketball Club was one of fifteen winners throughout NSW and the ACT that received a $5,000 Rebel Sport gift card," Mr Toovey said.

"Their impressive online entry at www.nrmalegends.com.au is focused on realising a dream to develop a club to increase sport and activity levels of kids, youth and adults in the Ku-Ring-Gai community."

"I am proud that people are using the NRMA Everyday Sporting Legends program to realise their passions and support the St Ives Club in bringing basketball facilities to the area."

Enthusiastic kayaker Leah Crockett from Lane Cove also received a $500 Rebel gift card to help her to improve in the sport.

Mr Toovey said the St Ives Basketball Club and Leah were exactly the kind of community groups and individuals the NRMA Everyday Sporting Legends Program aims to help.

"I know from experience that it takes dedication, team work and support from the community around you to be successful in your sporting dreams," Mr Toovey said.

The first ever NRMA Everyday Sporting Legends Program has been well received with a host of quality stories, photos and video footage submitted to support a variety of sporting goals from NSW and ACT communities.

Rebel Sport is part of the NRMA's More4Members rewards program which gives Members access to a vast range of instant discounts and benefits.
