Wednesday, March 4, 2020 - 9:59 AM

The Perth Football Club and Macmahon have joined forces to deliver football clinics to schools within the Perth District.

Macmahon are proud supporters of grassroots community sporting initiatives and saw a unique opportunity to unite with Perth as our “Schools Program Partner.”

Last year Perth ran football clinics in 10 local schools, and through this partnership we will be able to increase this significantly, running clinics in more than 20 schools throughout the 2020 season.

“We are pleased to be partnering with Perth to deliver this program and support the playing group through player sponsorships,” Michael Finnegan, CEO & Managing Director, Macmahon. “Perth are ambitiously growing their community programs and we are excited to be involved and partnering with them in this.”

On the program, Perth’s Partnership Manager Jared Bell stated, “It is part of our responsibility as a WAFL Club to support our local community, and this program is one of the ways we will be doing that this year.”

“Partners like Macmahon are essential to the Club. We are extremely grateful to Macmahon for partnering with us and look forward to developing a long relationship with them.”
