Dear Leagues,
Please find information below about the current TAC campaign – My Blood Oath.
The TAC are offering great prizes for clubs to WIN by getting players to make the Blood Oath on the TAC Facebook Page. The campaign also carries a very important road safety message for young drivers.
Please use the words below to put a note on your websites to make your clubs and players aware of this promotion.
We ask that you also forward this email to clubs and players to get them involved.
Cheers
Jock
Get your mates from your footy club to take the Blood Oath and be in the running for great prizes.
Blood Oath is a joint campaign between the TAC and AFL Victoria.
The Blood Oath campaign aims to prevent young people, particularly males aged 18-25, from being killed or seriously injured in road trauma. Last year, we lost the equivalent of 10 country footy teams’ worth of men due to road trauma. (220 male deaths in 2010)
In recognition of their’ involvement in the Blood Oath campaign, football clubs will be rewarded with cash to spend on areas they need most.
Taking an oath empowers young people to speak up and gives them the ability to send the message that ‘your mates life is in your hands’.
The TAC can always make ads and while we feel that we have been successful at doing this, it is important for young people to hear it from their peers.
Being a part of the Blood Oath could not only save your life, but save your footy club.
Too many people young people die on Victorian roads – each of these deaths is preventable.
This campaign is about actively involving prominent community members, through their football clubs, in sending the road safety message.
Taking an oath to drive safely shows your friends and family that you are serious about putting an end to road trauma.
We have already lost about three AFL footy teams worth of men on the roads this year, it is time to put at stop to this trauma and encourage young people to drive responsibly.
