KYNETON TOYOTA SUPPORTS THE TIGERS

What makes Toyota Good for Footy?

X Through its Good For Footy program, Toyota is committed to helping grow Australian Football across the entire community.

And in 2023, Toyota is celebrating the fact $15 million has been raised through its Good For Footy and Cricket programs.

Local footy clubs partner with their local Toyota dealer and together they can fundraise through the Good for Footy Raffle.

Tickets are just $5 and the club gets to keep 100 per cent of the proceeds – plus there is the opportunity to win one of three new Toyotas!

In fact, there’s more than $250,000 in prizes up for grabs ... that’s a whole lot better than a sausage sizzle!

Just head to your local club’s good For Footy Raffle page to buy tickets.

Through Toyota’s Good For Footy program, more than 500 local clubs from every state and territory have benefited, including Kyneton Football Netball Club.

COMMUNITY PRIDE: Kyneton fields senior men’s and women’s teams, as well as running a strong junior program and an all-abilities team.

People (are) buying tickets all around the country

The Tigers pre-date the VFL (today’s AFL) which started in 1897. Kyneton played in various local competitions an, like many country clubs, it had to endure a tough period during two World Wars.

Having also played in the Castlemaine District Football League, Kyneton re-joined the Bendigo Football League in 1947 where it has won premierships in 1960, 1961, 1966, 1995 and 1997. Kyneton also won the 1936 premiership in the Bendigo FL.

Today, Kyneton boasts teams in senior men’s and senior women’s competitions and has a strong junior football arm.

On top of that, the Tigers field netball teams and a FIDA (Football Integration Development Association) all-abilities team.

The Tigers aim to be a proud, competitive, sustainable and family-focused club that provides the opportunity for players, members, spectators – and the wider community – to participate in sport and social activities of the club.

They have committed to work together to ensure it is an open and inclusive club that offers the opportunity to participate. In 2021, Kyneton won the AFL Community Most Inclusive Club of the Year.

The Tigers foster health and well-being for the community in all their activities, providing an enjoyable and safe environment for members. And they commit to communicate their relevance with their members and the wider community, encouraging others to contribute to the long and proud Tiger story.

Kyneton is also fortunate to have the support of Kyneton Toyota which has provided the vehicle for the club’s popular major raffle for three years.

“Their support has meant this sought-after prize has managed to gain a very large following with people buying tickets all around the country,” Kyneton president Hayden Evans said.

Kyneton Toyota also supported the Tigers with their Easter ‘Longest Kick’ competition in 2022.
