Possible Nandos Sponsorship of the HBA

Updated 2 April 2007

A meeting between the Hawthorn Basketball Association and Nandos on Glenferrie Road (just down from the HOP) has been organised. Nandos are very keen to get involved in basketball from a sponsorship point of view. The obvious demographic and geographic similarities between the association and Nandos means there could be some exciting opportunities for both Nandos, Hawthorn Magic and the Hawthorn Basketball Association..

The possibility of this partnership is still very much in the early days, but to get the ball rolling, the manager of Nandos on Glenferrie Road, Jimmy, has offered to give discounts/extras to members of the Hawthorn Basketball community. As a starting point, this will provide Nandos with a bit of information about the basketball market and the possibilities of such a deal. From there, a sponsorship/partnership deal can be negotiated.

We want to give Nandos a taste of the sort of business Magic may be able to generate so we're hoping you can find the time to feed on the delicious Nandos range in the upcoming weeks and we'll see where it goes from there. This is potentially an exciting deal for Hawthorn Basketball. So head down to Nandos in Hawthorn and ask for Jimmy or Harry, let them know that you are with the Hawthorn Basketball Association or from Hawthorn Magic and they'll fix you up with a special deal!
