The Mountain District Football Club, based at Mangrove Mountain, has received a $2,000 boost as it kicks off the 2022 season, taking out the March round of Greater Bank’s #GreaterCentralCoast Community Funding Program.
Club President, Tom Seddon, said the club played an important role in the community.
“We are a small family-orientated football club, with teams ranging from under-5s to over-45s, based at Bloodtree Oval, Mangrove Mountain,” Seddon said.
“We have plans to upgrade our facilities, including putting in a PA system at our home ground, improving seating and investing in new uniforms.
“Being based in a small community means there are limited avenues for sponsorship and funding support, so this money from Greater Bank is very welcome.”
Mountain District Football Club won the public vote in the March round of the funding program, with runners-up Mingaletta Sisters Together and 1st Erina Heights Cub Scout Group each receiving $500.
Greater Bank’s Central Coast Regional Sales Manager, Josh Swetnam, said sport was a vital component of regional communities.
“Sport brings the community together, delivering physical, psychological and social benefits to people of all ages,” he said. “Greater Bank is delighted to support sporting and community organisations across the Central Coast.”
Voting in the April round of the #GreaterCentralCoast community funding program is now open and closes at 5pm on Wednesday April 27.
In the running for this month’s share in the $3000 are Central Coast Rescue Squad, 236 Army Cadet Unit and Hospital Art Australia Inc.
