Hit a six with insurance grant
NRMA Insurance’s A Help Company has launched its 2024 community cricket club grants program to help local clubs build community connection.
NRMA Insurance, now in its third year of partnership with Cricket Australia, is celebrating the important role that grass roots cricket plays in building community connection and resilience right across the country.
On the eve of what is expected to be a blockbuster summer test series, NRMA Insurance is offering 12 $5000 grants to local cricket clubs, encouraging winners to use the funds to further bring their community together, and to foster and strengthen connection through events, gala days or family days.
Australian test cricketing great Nathan Lyon said community cricket clubs were important in his life and the contribution they made to local communities across the country:
“Community cricket is where I planted my roots, I learnt so much in those years playing for my local clubs in country New South Wales and Canberra, especially the importance of teamwork and enjoying the game. I made some great friends, and we were a close-knit community who supported each other through the wins and losses, both on and off the cricket field,” he said.
“My passion for the game started in those early days, so I’m proud to support this NRMA Insurance initiative and can’t wait to see local clubs across the country celebrate with their communities and celebrate the sport we all love.”
NRMA Insurance chief customer and marketing officer Michelle Klein said “helping our customers and their communities is at the heart of A Help Company”.
“It is wonderful to have another opportunity to see first-hand the positive impact our cricket grants can have to further support local cricket clubs and communities.”
