The Bombers kicked off their 2013 On The Ball campaign last week, presenting the exciting three-phase program to students at Assumption College in Kilmore.

The three-phase program for students includes a two hour visit by athletes from Essendon, the Melbourne Vixens and Australian Paralympians to the school, before students work on a school based project that uses multimedia to raise the awareness of issues relevant to them such as depression, drug or alcohol abuse, cyber bullying and life choices.

In the next phase, students will then select their best idea and present these to a panel of athletes at Windy Hill to be in the running to win up to $1000 for their school – proudly donated by the Bendigo Bank Strathmore Community Branch.
