More than 1,700 generous Flight Plan Donors and guests attended the True Value Solar Centre on Saturday for an exclusive tour of the club’s state of the art training facility.

Over 20,000 supporters have donated to the Flight Plan and those who attended on Saturday were able to see firsthand how their donations have been utilised.

Our donors were taken on a tour through the training hall, locker rooms, hot and cold plunge pools, medical and rehab facilities, gymnasium and heritage displays.

After the tour many donors were able to find their names on the completed Flight Plan honour wall that is on display at the facility entrance.

Our second honour wall is currently being finalised and we hope to have this on display in the next few months.

Essendon Chief Operating Officer Xavier Campbell thanked the supporter base for their ongoing support.

 “It was a great day and the perfect opportunity to recognise our Flight Plan Donors and show them the amazing facility.”

“Over 5 years ago the Board and greater Club set out on an ambitious and bold vision to create an elite, state-of-the-art facility and our generous fans and supporters have helped us realise this vision.”

“It would not have been possible without the generous and continued support of our Flight Plan donors,” Campbell said.

For those who missed out on the Donor Tour there will be weekly tours of the facility on Monday mornings starting very soon with details to be communicated later this week.
