The Grassroots Sports Club raises money to help financially disadvantaged young people participate in sport. We raise funds by hosting events featuring speakers of great sporting renown.

100% of all proceeds are donated to charities that work with disadvantaged kids and families.

Did you know that only 3 in 10 of Australia's most disadvantaged kids participate in sport outside of school hours? This compares with nearly 8 in 10 of their advantaged peers. The cost of uniforms, membership fees, and equipment can all place a strain on a family's finances. Indeed many young people have limited or no opportunities to participate in sport.

We believe that the playing field should be even for all young people. The benefits of participating in team sports extend far beyond the sporting field. Sport can:

  • build community

  • promote healthy lifestyles

  • enhance development and learning

  • promote a safe and protective environment

  • foster peer support

  • allow people to connect with each other on an 'even footing'

  • improve physical and mental health

  • build life-skills, self-confidence, leadership and discipline

  • foster social inclusion

  • empower kids to recognise their own abilities and potential.

MONEY RAISED SO FAR FROM TASSIE:

$94,000

The Grassroots Sports Club is an exceptional organisation that raises funds to support financially disadvantaged young people in Tassie. Their events are a testament to their dedication. By donating 100% of the proceeds to charities like The Edmund Rice Camps, they are making a tangible impact on the lives of disadvantaged kids and families, right here in Tassie. Through their support, we can provide essential resources, sports programs, and mentorship opportunities that these young individuals desperately need. We are deeply grateful for their partnership.
