Holden’s Rainbow Colorados will be gracing the streets of the Yarra Valley as they drive into town in preparation for the fourth annual Pride Cup on Sunday 7 May.
The 2017 Pride Cup will see champions Yarra Glen take on the Yea Tigers in a match that will showcase the football and netball league’s support for diversity and inclusion in sport.
The match will be played at the Yarra Glen Recreation Reserve, and will include a range of football and netball games throughout the day as part of the AFL Yarra Ranges league.
Heritage Holden Lilydale has joined numerous local and national sponsors who have shown support for Pride Cup.
Those attending Pride Cup will be able to take photos with the dazzling Rainbow Colorados, which made their first appearance at the 2017 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras as part of Holden’s show of support for the LGBTI community and equality.
Other sponsors of the 2017 Pride Cup include NAB, Yarra Ranges Council, Cyber Risk Advisors, Eastern Health, Sherwood and AFL Yarra Ranges.
Now in its fourth year, the Pride Cup was the inspiration behind the AFL Pride Match last year between the St Kilda Football Club and the Sydney Swans to start a national Pride Cup.
The 2017 Pride Cup on 7 May this year will include a range of football and netball games, ending with the senior Pride Cup football match at 2.10pm and the presentation of the Pride Cup at 4.30pm.
