NRL’s Dolphins secure $1 million community sponsor
Leading community developer and home builder, Ausbuild, has agreed a three-year sponsorship deal with NRL newcomers the Dolphins for their debut season in 2023.
The $1 million three-year deal will contribute toward a range of community initiatives across the Moreton Bay region including game-day activations, local events and fundraising activities.
A long time NRL partner, Ausbuild’s support for the Dolphins represents a change to its support for the game.
Explaining the new approach and how community engagement is important to both organisations, Ausbuild joint Managing Director, Matthew Bell stated “we’re excited to be partnering with the Dolphins in their debut season, and beyond.
“Ausbuild has a significant footprint in Moreton Bay through our two master planned communities, The Sanctuary and Montrose, which are being delivered alongside an award-wining CSR program.
“We know the Moreton Bay region has a strong rugby league fan base and our three-year partnership with the Dolphins will deliver numerous benefits to the community through our game-day activations, local events, and fundraising through Ausbuild’s ‘Housing for Happiness’ project.
“We will also be allocating 200 tickets to each home game in Redcliffe to a variety of local community groups, schools, and volunteers, alongside community-focused Guard of Honour activations, and halftime entertainment at four home games.”
Dolphins Chief Executive, Terry Reader added “engaging with our community, and fan base, on and off the field is so important.
“To have a Community Partner of Ausbuild’s calibre, who is equally motivated and committed to making a positive impact through the sport, is a fantastic outcome for the Dolphins.”
