Thank you to all the clubs that applied for a Volkswagen Grassroots Grant in 2015 and congratulations to the ten successful clubs who received $1000 each.

Those clubs will use the much required funding to assist with facility improvements, new footballs, training equipment or to even support a club function or fundraiser.

Andrew Simpson from Gepps Cross Junior Football Club, South Australia said “Being a grant winner means we can continue to provide a fun, safe environment for all of our junior players at the Gepps Cross Jnr Footy Club. The grant will go towards getting each junior team new match day footballs and enable the club to utilise planned fund raising events in other areas including providing a higher, safer level of game day services for each junior player. Thanks again to all involved especially Volkswagen and the Sydney Swans.”

Peter Brock from Mountain Creek Junior Australian Football Club in Queensland said “The sponsorship has allowed us to purchase a set of jerseys for the new u13 age group in the Sunshine Coast AFL Juniors Youth Girls competition and also to purchase some training aids for this team. Exposure gained through the sponsorship will also help the new club grow and establish itself in the community.”

Keep an eye out in 2016 for the Volkswagen Grassroots Grants program and be sure to get your club entered to be in with a chance of winning.
