For those interested, this article has a great summary of the awesome work Beau's done

http://www.westcoasteagles.com.au/news/2014-08-06/waters-a-community-award-finalist

I knew about some of the stuff, but most of it is new to me. Basically he's been the Cancer Council WA Ambassador for about 10 years and has raised about $1 million dollars for cancer research. He's also a part of the Youth Focus board, the Young Men’s Project Committee, a regular Camp Quality volunteer and fund-raiser and a committee member of the WA Healthy Awards

Worthy recipient of the award. He's had a lot of time off the field to give back to the community but his the kind of guy who would have still given back to the community even if fully fit for every game. Spoke well also. Great leader.

 

[HungLong]

Hope he hangs around the club in some capacity after retirement.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Champion bloke, champion player. Lets hope he has a massive preseason so he can smash some faces in 2015.

[Matera LeNui]

When they said Kade Simpson has raised 30k then Beau Waters and the Eagles over a million knew we had it in the bag lol....in all seriousness great stuff by Beau and the club. 2 awards in one night, we'll take it!

Will get lost in the Priddis hysteria but well done Beau, good to see he's making a contribution despite the hand he's been dealt with injuries

Congrats Beau, would prefer to see you on the ground but glad to see our club's post-2007 approach to player development and community involvement is starting to pay off in more well-rounded and healthier individuals doing outstanding things off the field in addition to being on it.

 

[Biggie]

Congrats to Beau

 

[Wosh]

Well done Beau. As someone whos family is currently deeply affected by cancer I thank you for your hard work and fundraising.

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Good on him, and nice to have 2 awards in one night.

 

[eagles rule]

Thanks Beau for your awesome commitment well done .

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Great to see Beau acknowledged for his fantastic community work. He certainly doesn't do it for the glory but it should be known by all the terrific work he does. Champion bloke who brings so much to our great club outside of his work on the ground.

 

[Gods_Son23]

what a night!

 

[Small Moves]

We absolutely cleaned up Brownlow night. Who would have thought.

Congrats Beau, well deserved.

 

[oak79]

Was great to see an eagle win something - thoroughly deservered by Beau!

Priddis snatching the brownlow was the icing on the cake

 

[CJApples87]

In a huge night for the West Coast Eagles, this was an award that was thoroughly deserved. I love hearing about the work Beau Waters does in the community and helping out the next generation while he's had to battle hard to get over his injuries. A selfless award for a fantastic man.
