Bloodline Training Academy was established to provide Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children with opportunities to enjoy basketball, build confidence, and form lasting friendships through sport. This year marked a significant milestone for the Academy, with five teams participating in the carnival, the highest number since its inception.

As part of the sponsorship, MEBD contributed to the purchase of new uniforms for the players and coaching staff - uniforms that will continue to be worn proudly at future events. Helen Walley-Stack, Bloodline’s Carnivals Coordinator, shared her gratitude explaining, “The kids loved their new shirts and wore them every day with pride. It was also the first time our coaching staff had matching shirts, which made our club look more official—so thank you for making this possible.”

The team on the Mandurah Estuary Bridge Duplication project is proud to play a small role in supporting the next generation of young athletes and strengthening community connections through sport.
