In a heart-warming gesture, Essendon Football Club and Fujitsu General Australia has come together to support the Tullamarine Sporting Club, gifting them $10,000 to aid in their recovery from a challenging period.
On Tuesday, August 6, players Zach Merrett, Andy McGrath, Sam Draper, Bonnie Toogood, and Steph Cain, along with Fujitsu General Australia's State Manager for VIC/TAS, Ed Jackson, made a surprise visit to the Tullamarine Sporting Club.
The local club, located within Melbourne’s Northwest Corridor, has faced significant hardships over the past few years, including the absence of clubrooms.
The $10,000 donation will go directly towards the construction of new clubrooms and will play a crucial role in helping the club survive and continue its operations.
Tullamarine Sporting Club President Peter Labbad expressed his gratitude and highlighted how the club has persevered despite the challenges.
This generous contribution is a testament to the strong partnership between Essendon Football Club and Fujitsu General Australia, who are celebrating 10 years of collaboration.
Their commitment to supporting grassroots football and local communities shines through in this meaningful act of giving.
The Tullamarine Sporting Club can now look forward to a brighter future, thanks to the continued support of EFC and Fujitsu.
