East West Club Donation
In this very disruptive year, our supporter group has not been able to hold our East Meets West Day & Children’s Clinic, our Legends & Young Gun Dinner or Tipping Competition.
These events are fund raisers and proceeds go towards our annual contribution to the Western Bulldogs. Despite this we are pleased to advise that on behalf of our members we have made a contribution this month to the club of $2,500.
Your support has meant total contributions over the past three years have now totalled $32,500 to our great Football Club. We also donate to a number of Bulldogs connected groups.
It should be noted here that the overall financial position of the Western Bulldogs Football Club is in relatively good shape thanks to the great work of the Board and the Club’s staff, the contributions of Members, the various Coterie and Supporter Groups, Sponsors and individual donors who all continue to financially support our club.
Our club is fortunate to be in this position as the AFL next year will make cuts to compensate for this difficult Coronavirus year that will affect all clubs.
AFL clubs are now multimillion dollar businesses and the sport they provide is part of the fabric of our culture. We Bulldogs supporters know what it has been like to support a struggling club. We should be proud that by your support , memberships, donations no matter how small, have seen our club grow to where it is today.
The club is now in a position where it is not reliant on the financial support of the AFL.
The club result includes supporting our team and the great community work it does off the field. Keep the faith and keep supporting the Bulldogs, we are heading in the right direction.
