Rugby league coaching legend Wayne Bennett (pictured) will address Te Awamutu Special Olympics' annual charity dinner.
He will join league's greatest supporter and ambassador Sir Peter Leitch of Mad Butcher fame.
The charity dinner is on May 25 at Te Awamutu Events Centre, and will be the cornerstone fundraising event for the club, which provides sports training and competition for people with intellectual disabilities.
Club co-ordinator Shelley Blair says it is a major event for Special Olympics Te Awamutu and everyone is excited to have Wayne Bennett and Sir Peter Leitch supporting us.
"It's quite an achievement for a little town like Te Awamutu," she says.
