Chris McPherson, an owner of McPherson Media Group, started Shepparton’s Biggest Ever Blokes Lunch after being diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2009. Chris passed away in December 2015 but has left a significant legacy, with events such as ours now operating throughout the State. Chris was awarded the 2015 Volunteer of the Year at the National Awards for Excellence in Fundraising for his work.

The Committee, with a strong focus on raising local awareness for Men’s Health issues, is extremely proud to say that the money raised from the event funds a Prostate Cancer Specialist Nurse position at GV Health in Shepparton. Our commitment to this is ongoing.

This year, Shepparton's Biggest Ever Bloke's Lunch is headlined by comedian Marty Fields and former Carlton Footballer Brendan Fevola, and hosted by Des Dowling.
