Community Bank Healesville (CBH) presented a cheque to the Healesville Football and Netball Club (HFNC) for equipment upgrades on Thursday 6 March.
After winning the senior men’s premiership flag last year, the club has been working hard to get good results again in the new season.
HFNC greatly appreciated the support from the community bank.
“The community bank looks after sporting clubs in our community and we definitely want to partner with them,” HFNC president Toby Millman said.
“We intend to use the funds for goal post padding.”
CBH director Laurie Webb visited HFNC’s training session at the Don Road Sporting Complex to hand the cheque to the club.
Mr Webb said the community bank initially sponsored the footy club with jerseys for the new ladies’ teams as they entered the competition for the first time a few years ago, which has contributed to attracting more women to local football.
“Our local community bank is doing well now, thanks to more locals in the community giving us a go,” he said.
“As a result, we are continuing to grow our sponsorship for organisations like the footy club, which is making a difference in the community.
“If you come down to training on a Thursday evening, you can see how many young men and women have something active to do while building team chemistry. We believe that’s got to be good for our community.”
