Lacey Events Supporting the Arthur Beetson Foundation in the Delivery of the Queensland Murri Carnival
The Queensland Murri Carnival is about far more than rugby league.
It is a celebration of culture, community, family and connection, bringing people together from across Queensland while creating opportunities to share stories, recognise achievement and strengthen communities.
Lacey Events is proud to support the Arthur Beetson Foundation in the delivery of the Queensland Murri Carnival, helping strengthen the event through content, storytelling, promotion and event support.
Supporting the Delivery of QMC
The Arthur Beetson Foundation is at the heart of the Queensland Murri Carnival, continuing a legacy built around opportunity, community and the power of rugby league to bring people together.
Through its work with the Foundation, Lacey Events supports the delivery of QMC across a range of areas, helping extend the reach of the Carnival and showcase the people and stories that make it what it is.
For Lacey Events, the role is about more than promoting an event.
It is about supporting the Arthur Beetson Foundation to tell the broader QMC story — celebrating the players, families, volunteers, community leaders and organisations who contribute to the Carnival each year.
More Than a Carnival
While rugby league sits at the centre of QMC, the Carnival represents something much bigger.
It provides a place for families and communities to reconnect, celebrate culture and recognise the achievements of First Nations players, leaders and communities.
It also creates opportunities for conversations around health, wellbeing, education, leadership and community development.
That broader impact is an important part of the story Lacey Events is helping the Arthur Beetson Foundation share.
Taking QMC Stories Beyond the Field
Throughout the lead-up to the Carnival, Lacey Events has supported the development of digital content highlighting the people behind Queensland’s First Nations rugby league community.
Through podcasts, interviews, video content and community storytelling, audiences have the opportunity to hear directly from former and current players, volunteers, community leaders and those who have contributed to the game across generations.
These stories explore rugby league, but they also go much further — sharing experiences of culture, family, community, leadership and life beyond the football field.
Importantly, the content allows these stories to continue well beyond Carnival week.
By capturing and sharing them digitally, the Arthur Beetson Foundation and Lacey Events can help preserve important stories while creating new ways for audiences throughout Queensland and beyond to connect with QMC.
Celebrating the People Behind QMC
Every successful Carnival is built by people.
From the teams taking the field and the families supporting them, to the volunteers, officials, community organisations and partners working behind the scenes, QMC represents an enormous collective effort.
Through its support of the Arthur Beetson Foundation, Lacey Events aims to help bring greater visibility to that effort.
The focus is not only on the games themselves, but on the people, history and community surrounding them.
Together, these stories provide a much richer picture of what the Queensland Murri Carnival represents and why it continues to hold such an important place within communities across Queensland.
Continuing the Legacy
The Arthur Beetson Foundation continues to build on the legacy of Arthur Beetson while creating opportunities for future generations.
Lacey Events is proud to play a supporting role in that work through the delivery of the Queensland Murri Carnival and the storytelling that surrounds it.
As the Carnival continues to grow, so too does the opportunity to share its impact with broader audiences, celebrate the people who have contributed to its legacy and ensure these stories continue to be heard.
Because QMC is more than a sporting event.
It is community.
It is culture.
It is connection.
And it is a legacy that continues to grow with every generation.
Follow the journey as the Arthur Beetson Foundation, supported by Lacey Events and its partners, continues the countdown to the Queensland Murri Carnival.
