Thanks to the support of our sponsors, Howard and Schuback Megasports, Foodworks Sale, Kitch n’ Sink and Lambrohini Skateboards the Wellington Warriors raised in excess of $3000.00. These funds will be provided directly to local families to support them during their challenging time.
“During the course of this year the club was touched by a number of women within the club being diagnosed with various Cancers. We decided that we wanted to do something to support these families, along with other women and their families within the local area suffering with cancer” David Ross, Club President said.
“In July we played a game of football against Geelong wearing pink arm bands, using a pink football. This day launched the raffle. The support has been outstanding from all members of the club and the local community” David continued.
“I am extremely proud of what the club has achieved during the past four years both on and off the field. I am particularly proud of our achievement of raising $3,000.00 to support women and their families within the area suffering with cancer. This demonstrates our commitment as a club to our Community and ultimately the health and happiness of the members of our club.” Coach Kain Jackson said.
The club has worked extremely hard over the past few months to raise funds to support these local families.
The winners of the raffles were drawn at the Greyhounds Racing Club on Sunday the 25th August, 2013 following the club’s support of the Fun Run for Local Kids held at Lake Guthridge.
“As a club we would like to thank our Sponsors who donated the great prizes, our club members and the people within the local community who supported this fundraising effort allowing us to provide some financial support to women and their families currently suffering with cancer within the local area. Thank you for your support” David Ross stated.
The Wellington Warriors Annual General Meeting will be held on Saturday 5th of October at the Maffra Gymnasim. “We would like to invite and encourage all current, past and potential new members along to our Annual General Meeting. Next year is the club’s 5th Anniversary, and it looks to be an even bigger year than the past four with a number of exciting opportunities currently presenting themselves. Come along and be involved” David continued.
