AFL executive general manager of customer and commercial Kylie Rogers said the game across all levels benefited from Toyota’s continued support.
“Through various activities like the Toyota Good for Footy Raffle and Toyota AFL National Volunteer of the Year Awards, the clubs and people involved in grassroots footy, who are the heartbeat of the game in towns and communities across the country, receive much-deserved support and recognition,” she said.
“I urge clubs to make the most of the fundraising opportunity on offer through the Good for Footy Raffle and get nominations in for the Volunteer of the Year awards.”
Toyota Australia chief marketing officer Vin Naidoo said Toyota was committed to supporting football at all levels.
“Toyota’s Good for Footy program has provided substantial support for our community clubs across Australia and it’s through activities such as the Toyota Good for Footy Raffle that we aim to give back to the local community,” he said.
“Toyota Australia is proud to support the Good For programs and help strengthen the game, from grassroots to the elite.”
