AFL Goulburn Murray, in support with Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation, is opening its Boot Bank on Friday 31 March from 2:30pm to 5:00pm at the AFL Goulburn Murray offices in Kialla.
Boot Bank collection bins have been placed in primary schools over the past few weeks with the call for people to ‘drop in and drop them in’. The donated boots have been sorted, assessed, washed and fitted with a new pair of Zaidee’s Rainbow laces.
On Friday 31 March, the Boot Bank will be open at AFL Goulburn Murray, Kialla Park Community Centre, Reserve Street, Kialla for parents and players to purchase a pair of recycled boots for the nominal fee of $15.
AFL Goulburn Murray Region General Manager Martin Gleeson is pleased with the quality of boots collected.
“We have once again had an excellent response from schools, children and their parents in promoting the program and donating their second hand boots” he said.
“We will have lots of boots available on Friday afternoon and most of them are as good as brand new.”
“Children grow out of their boots way before they wear them out and this is a great way for old boots to be given a new life as well as for parents to be able to purchase a decent pair of boots at a fraction of the retail cost.”
“The focus is to reduce one of the key costs for junior football participation, that is, equipment purchase as well as promoting the important child organ donation messages of Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation.”
“As well as donating to Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation the Boot Bank will purchase jumpers for the GV Stars Access All Abilities football team.”
The Boot Bank will be open to the public on Friday 31 March from 2:30pm to 5:00pm. All boots collected will be on sale for $15 a pair which includes new Zaidee’s Rainbow Foundation laces
