The seven worthy winners were selected for their outstanding contribution to their local NAB AFL Auskick Centre.
Crawford, a NAB AFL Auskick Ambassador, was thrilled to be a part of the NAB AFL Auskick Volunteer of the Year Award Finals Experience for 2014.
"It's just fantastic to see that the volunteers who keep NAB AFL Auskick alive and well in every corner of the nation are being recognised by NAB. Congratulations to the winners," he said.
NAB has been Footifying Australia for more than 10 years through NAB AFL Auskick, NAB AFL Rising Stars Program and NAB Challenge. In many ways, they have supported some of the AFL's greats from the grassroots up, whilst growing the game in all corners of our great country (not just on the big stage).
Through support of the NAB AFL Auskick program, NAB continues to Footify Australia; genuinely growing the game at a grassroots level and supporting tomorrow's stars of football. Every year, over 170,000 kids across the country are 'Footified' through NAB AFL Auskick.
