Letters to BFC
Running a football club is often very difficult, trying to find a successful balance between the on field and off field components, keeping players and supporters happy, dealing with sponsors and thinking of new ways to increase the fundraising opportunities in what is now essentially a big business.
As a Committee, we believe we are doing well, and it is great to receive feedback from other sources giving affirmation that we have achieved what we set out to do. Below are a few letters we have received so far in 2009 and we are proud to be able to share them with you.
Homebush Hotel
Phil Ervin at Homebush Hotel is a great sponsor of the footy club and we are pleased to be able to give something back to our sponsors whenever possible. Following is a letter received from Phil after an awards held at Homebush in July. Click on the file to view Phil's letter.
Breast Cancer Network Australia
Our Pink Footy Day on May 9th was by far the biggest fundraiser for BCNA in the whole VCFL with over $17000 to BCNA and another $11000 + to our local CanAssist branch. The BCNA were extremely grateful of our efforts, as seen in this letter of appreciation. Click on the file to view the letter.
