Cricket Victoria
Through our partnership with Cricket Victoria, we get behind the Victorian Men’s Cricket Team, the Diamonds in the Bush program aimed at unearthing young talent, and the annual All Abilities Carnival providing a unique opportunity to support teams including deaf, blind, intellectually disabled and Indigenous players.
Importantly, we have also partnered in a joint venture called the CitiPower and Cricket Victoria Canteen Grant. Since 2018, we’ve dished out a whopping $530k into 130 local cricket clubs to fund electrical infrastructure maintenance across club canteens – so everyone is safe on and off the field.
It means cooler drinks, fresher oranges, and hotter pies. And more money raised in the canteen equals more money to invest back in the clubs.
