Tabcorp has become the partner of the Richmond Football Club’s community arm, the Tigers In The Community Foundation.
Operating as a separate entity to the football club, the Tigers In The Community Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organisation which prides itself on equity and equality for all.
Since its inception in 2005, the Tigers In The Community Foundation has developed into a major provider of community programs in inner Melbourne and a supporter of many charity and community organisations.
The foundation undertakes a range of services, such as literacy support programs for children in public housing estates and partnership activities with St Mary’s House of Welcome and Very Special Kids.
Tabcorp’s sponsorship will support the growth of the Tigers In The Community Foundation and strengthen its ability to realise its community development vision.
As part of the partnership, Tabcorp’s Melbourne-based employees will be given the opportunity to participate and volunteer in a range of the foundation’s programs.
“Tabcorp is proud to be the partner of the Tigers In The Community Foundation and we look forward to our contribution being one that makes a difference,” said Tabcorp’s Executive General Manager, Corporate and Legal, Kerry Willcock.
“Tabcorp’s community connection is about taking steps to deliver positive and lasting change for those in need. Through it we aim to better connect our company with the community, as well as increase employee engagement.”
Tabcorp actively supports a number of charities, not-for-profit organisations and community groups with a range of donations, sponsorships and in-kind giving.
Tabcorp donated $2 million to the Victorian Bushfire Relief Fund last February. This was the single biggest donation in Tabcorp’s history and it led the response offered by other corporates.
Tabcorp contributed $3.5 million to the community in 2009 through its businesses, people and brands.
Tabcorp’s corporate bookmaking business, Luxbet.com, is a co-major sponsor of the Richmond Football Club.
