Bushfire Football Appeal

The shocking bushfires of the past week which had a devastating impact on several areas of rural Victoria have been unprecedented in their destruction of life, property and spirit.

We have all been affected and moved by the stories and images of the terrible bushfires that have ripped the heart out of communities.

The community’s support towards fire victims has been inspirational. So has the truly heroic response to the fires by our emergency services personnel, whose actions properly define the concept of courage.

We are all part of the one community. As sports people (coaches players etc), we need to send a clear signal that we, as a football family, support the people affected by this disaster.

We now understand that the current bushfires are the worst peacetime disaster in Australia’s history.

The football family is a strong and united family.

Swoopercoach team, with your help, would like to donate 100 pairs of football boots (@ cost) to the clubs affected in the bush fire disaster.

Any contribution will be gratefully accepted. Any funds above the cost of boots will go to purchase cones, whistles, huddle mat, coaches boards etc

Swoopercoach the “premier family club” will forward to you the donor, a certificate of appreciation, we will also forward to the clubs a list of names who have donated to this cause.

If each member made a contribution of  $2 we would raise over $4000 or $5 we would raise $10,000

You can donate through the Bendigo Bank
