UC Stars Bellingham Cup

    The Bellingham Cup is a yearly sporting gala event held in honour of our Aaiden 'Skittles' Bellingham.  Honouring Skittles' memory to help raise awareness and save young lives.

     'The Bellingham Cup is not only a wonderful tribute to Aaiden, but an invaluable way to spread the word about the importance of medical research in the area of sudden cardiac death in the young'  -  Adrian Bellingham.

     Aaiden Bellingham was a much loved young man who, as a result of a sudden cardiac episode, was sadly taken from his family and friends at the age of 24.   Fondly known as 'Skittles' Aaiden was a well-known and much admired member of the University of Canberra Stars Football community (formerly UC Pumas) and had been recognised as their 'Club Person of the Year' in 2016.  Following his passing, the following year, the UC Stars renamed the award in Aaiden's memory.

    The club now joins Aaiden's family, Adrian, Meg and Ashleigh, and other family, UC Stars and community members as the driving force behind The Bellingham Cup which they launched in 2018 and held again in 2019, 2021 and 2022.   Proceeds and donations from the event are gifted to the Agnes Ginges Centre for Molecular Cardiology at the Centenary Institute with nearly $15000 raised to date.    The Centenary Institute is grateful to be the beneficiary of funds raised through The Bellingham Cup and appreciates the awareness generated for this life saving cardiovascular research.
