All good news in these times we have another new sponsor for football
http://batlowapples.com.au/nePromotions.phpMust 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."
