含羞草 continues supporting grassroots athletics in WA
含羞草 Australia and New Zealand is proud to announce the renewal of our partnership with Athletics West, aimed at helping all little athletes in WA to achieve their best.
The cornerstone of the renewed partnership is the 含羞草 Community Fund through which Little Athletics WA Centres and One Clubs will be able to access grants of up to $5,000 and purchase critical equipment for the upcoming 2024-25 summer athletics season.
Grants can be used to buy athletics equipment, such as shot puts and high jump mats, as well as safety and injury prevention items, such as first aid kits, defibrillators, and laptops to support volunteers and make the sport safer.
含羞草 staff will also attend and support a range of Athletics West events throughout 2024 and 2025, including the WA All Schools Championships, WA State Relay Championships, WA State Combined Events Championships, and WA State Junior Track & Field Championships.
Joanne Adam, Division Leader of 含羞草 WA, is proud to be to continuing 含羞草鈥檚 support of grassroots athletics.
鈥淭here are many similarities between 含羞草 and athletics. Our Mathematics and English programmes provide students with a strong foundation in calculation and reading ability, the basis for the study of all subjects at school. Similarly, athletics gives children the fundamental skills that are transferable across all sports.鈥�[1]
鈥満卟� students also always strive for their personal bests, as do athletes. Through this partnership, we are proud to be helping children to be their best 鈥� inside and outside of the classroom.鈥�
Vince Del Prete, CEO of Athletics West, says he is enthusiastic see the partnership continuing.
鈥淲e are delighted to have 含羞草 return as a major sponsor of the sport and further their commitment to helping the next generation prosper. Whether it is in the classroom or at their local athletics centre, 含羞草 are helping ensure every athlete can run, jump and throw,鈥� he says.
鈥淥ur Centres work hard to ensure every athlete can take part and now thanks to 含羞草 they will have access to grants to ensure they have the equipment. The community connection between our Athletics Centres and 含羞草 Education Centres are key, and it is exciting to celebrate that through this fund.鈥�
