Murfy1 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Melbourne Heart won a Melbourne Award, bestowed by the City of Melbourne, in the category of Contribution to Community by a Corporation: Contribution to Community by a Corporation Melbourne Heart FC Melbourne Heart FC was formed in 2009 with a vision for a community team that celebrated cultural diversity and sporting passion through football. A professional soccer club, Melbourne Heart FC competes in Australia’s top-flight, A-League competition but remains faithful to its grassroots community by sharing its resources and contributing its coaching expertise in a variety of ways. In just a few years the club has connected with over 40,000 people through its Street Soccer programs, community clinics, school appearances and coaching seminars. While it offers opportunities across Melbourne, the club has a particular focus in the City of Melbourne, with 13,600 people having participated in community activities in the municipality to date. A particular focus of Melbourne Heart FC is engaging diverse cultural communities in its activities, some of them isolated from mainstream society such as refugees, new arrivals and underprivileged and marginalised people. http://www.melbourne.vic.gov.au/AboutMelbourne/MelbourneAwards/Pages/2012Winners.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
