Sydney Olympic announce Starlight Children’s Foundation partnership
IGA NPL NSW Mens 1 side Sydney Olympic FC is proud to announce a new and exciting partnership with the Starlight Children’s Foundation.
At the launch of their new Westfield FFA Cup Kit, Sydney Olympic, Head of Corporate Partnerships, Paul Aspros, said: “I’m delighted that our Club has taken this opportunity to undertake a “reverse sponsorship” with the Starlight Children’s Foundation.
Our partnership will mean that instead of Sydney Olympic receiving sponsorship revenue from a potential sponsor, we will in fact donate funds to the Starlight Children’s Foundation, and will undertake fundraising activities right through our Westfield FFA Cup campaign”
The Westfield FFA Cup with its FOX Sports broadcast provides our Club with a level of exposure to mainstream football fans that we haven’t seen since we competed in the National Soccer League, and rather than use this opportunity to secure a commercial sponsor, we’re proud to make a contribution to the Starlight Children’s Foundation and also assist in raising awareness of the wonderful work Starlight do with children and their families.
Sydney Olympic will donate $2 from every ticket sold at our Westfield FFA Cup match at Lambert Park tomorrow night (Tuesday 16 September) and Starlight volunteers will also be collecting gold coin donations on the night, from what we expect to be a bumper crowd attendance.
Aspros added: “We will continue our partnership with Starlight right through our Cup run, and with some big crowds expected if we progress to the quarter finals, semi-final and Grand Final, we’ll be hoping to raise a significant amount of money for Starlight.”
Starlight Children’s Foundation CEO Louise Baxter said she was appreciative of the support from Sydney Olympic Football Club. "The much-needed funds raised through our partnership with Sydney Olympic Football Club will help Starlight continue to brighten the lives of seriously ill children, adolescents and their families around Australia
“Congratulations to everyone involved at Sydney Olympic FC for using the platform of the Westfield FFA Cup to assist Starlight.
“The Westfield FFA Cup is a knockout competition so the further Sydney Olympic FC can go in the Cup, the more funds will be raised for Starlight. We will be cheering for Sydney Olympic on Tuesday night at Lambert Park, and hope they can go all the way through to the Grand Final!"
Starlight CEO, Louise Baxter and Sydney Olympic Head of Corporate Partnerships, Paul Aspros, and right, the new kit for Tuesday night’s game.
