HBA Donates to Bushfire Relief Fund

Added 16 February 2009

As we all understand, it’s going to take a great deal of time, effort and resources to bring the families and individuals affected by the recent bushfires back to a normal life following this devastating event.

On behalf of the entire Hawthorn basketball community we offer our unflagging support and condolences to those mourning the tragic loss of life.

With friends and organisations from across Australia coming together to help with the rebuilding process, HBA is proud to announce that through the wonderful support and generosity of its member teams and clubs, the game component of all pre paid match fees from round 9 has been donated to the Victorian Bushfire Relief fund, via the Canterbury branch of the Bendigo Bank.

Today Hawthorn Basketball Association Treasurer, Jan Clinton, passed on a cheque for $15,000 that was accepted with heartfelt thanks by Boroondara City Councillor Dick Menting. Thank you to all the teams and clubs concerned for your undivided support of this initiative.
