For season 2005, AFL players raised $250,000, which was donated to the Broadbridge Fund.

The Broadbridge Fund was established by Troy's widow Trisha Broadbridge and Jim Stynes of The Reach Foundation. The Fund aims to properly reflect Troy's life and legacy, fitting the objectives of all AFL players who wished to honour Troy and support those people whose lives were shattered by the Tsunami.

Throughout the 2005 season, AFL Players contributed a special $20 levy per senior game towards the special fund.

The number 20 holds special significance for it was the number Troy wore during his time with the Melbourne Football Club.

The Broadbridge Fund will help set up and support important community based leadership programs across Australia, including a project in Troy's home state of South Australia.

The Fund will also assist in the rebuilding of the sole remaining school on Thailand's Phi Phi Island, creating hope for the survivors of the Tsunami by encouraging local people to return to the community. As the scale of the tragedy unfolded, AFLPA Executive Committee member Glenn Archer said, "As a group, we wanted to make a meaningful contribution to those in desperate need and honour Troy's memory."

This $20 figure is in addition to the current $15 per senior game players contribute to the AFL Players' Association Charity Fund.
