ActewAGL renews Raiders sponsorship
ActewAGL is pleased to announce its continued sponsorship of the Canberra Raiders into the 2013 season – Canberra’s Centenary year.
The sponsorship announcement is testament to ActewAGL’s strong commitment to the local sporting community and follows a history of supporting Canberra’s teams spanning over a decade.
ActewAGL Director Marketing and Corporate Affairs Paul Walshe said, “As the Principal Partner of the Centenary of Canberra, we’re pleased to be celebrating the important place that football has in Canberra’s local history by continuing our support of the Raiders into the Centenary year.”
“Sport not only inspires health and fitness, it also brings our community together and is a key part of Australian culture. The Raiders are Canberra sporting icons and we’re pleased to be continuing our involvement.
“We’ve seen some spectacular wins. We were there when the Raiders sold-out Canberra Stadium in the semi-finals in 2010 and again in 2012,” Mr Walshe said.
Canberra Raiders Chief Executive Officer Don Furner said, “ActewAGL’s local support of the Raiders, and our broader group of licensed Clubs, has extended over many years and is highly valued. Both ActewAGL and the Raiders are iconic Canberra brands that are entrenched in the fabric of the local community. Although our businesses are different, we are similar in that we are committed to the Capital Region and demonstrate this through regular support of local communities that use and enjoy our products and services”.
