All good news in these times we have another new sponsor for football http://batlowapples.com.au/nePromotions.php
Must start to eat apples ...
The first activity under this partnership is a promotion with Batlow Apples.
From today until early June over 500 independent grocers across NSW, Victoria, Queensland and the ACT will run a football specific promotion encouraging children, families and football fans to increase their intake of apples.
Entitled 'Live Active! Live Healthy! Live Socceroos!', the program will also provide nutritional advice and football coaching tips via www.batlow.com.au.
"This is the first time we have worked alongside a sporting code to promote the benefits of eating apples," said Sharnah Coulthart, Marketing Consultant to Batlow Apples.
"We deliberately chose football to be the first sport we worked with due to its wide appeal, particularly amongst children, and the high level of participation across Australia," she added.
Batlow Apples is also offering apple eaters the opportunity to meet a Qantas Socceroo, attend a training session and win a $250 Rebel Sport voucher. To enter the competition, participants need to purchase five Batlow apples and send in the five apple stickers along with a proof of purchase. There are also 60 consolation prizes of Socceroos merchandise to be won.
FFA CEO, Ben Buckley, said this is the first of many initiatives that FFA will work on to encourage players of all ages to complement their football with healthy eating.
"We all have a responsibility to help encourage all Australians, but especially children, to be more active and to eat more fresh fruit and vegetables.
"We hope that by the Qantas Socceroos supporting this activity, we can help encourage children and families to healthy eating."
