As a Crows Foundation Board Member, it has been a privilege to work collaboratively with Youth Opportunities, and to hear the positive impact they are having on the lives of young people in our community.

Thank you for your involvement and supporting the Crows Foundation and Youth Opportunities through the 2012 Corporate Handball Challenge.

I had a bad attitude and was really angry and aggressive, and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t control my temper. The Youth Opportunities Program taught me how to deal with conflict and how to communicate better.

The REWARDS

Make your mark in the community AND help to positively change it for the better CHANGING LIVES Imagine you feel alone, uncertain about the future, and unable to face the day.

The funds you contribute will make it possible for young people to participate in the life changing Youth Opportunities Personal Leadership Program, empowering them with skills and self belief to overcome obstacles and progress towards positive life goals.

The process

The PRIZES

Premiership Team The team (made up of four players) that raises the most funds overall. Players in the Premiership Team will receive a physical training session conducted by Crows players for up to eight people from each business.

Fairest Player/ Emerging Talent The player who displays the greatest determination and dedication in their fundraising efforts. The player awarded ‘emerging talent’ will receive game day tickets.

KISSING BOOTH

Only...

Club Champion The player that raises the most funds in a round. The business that reigns as the Club Champion will be invited to an exclusive ‘Pick the Grange’ blind wine tasting in the Adelaide Crows boardroom.

Most innovative Player The player that displays the most creativity and innovation in their fundraising activity. The ‘most innovative player’ will be invited to enjoy breakfast with the breakfast team at Mix 102.3.

One of the great advantages of working within a football club environment is we are exposed to young players who refuse to put a limit on what they can achieve. We can all learn something from their dedication and commitment.

COACHING TIPS

“Act as if what you do makeS a difference - it does” William James, Philosopher

FIND WHAT WORKS FOR YOU

KICK START YOUR THINKING

Like any sporting team, your business will have its own needs and capabilities to raise funds, and give the game its best shot!

Here are some fun fundraising ideas. You may like to choose just one or even a few, but whatever you do you are only limited by your imagination:

Some businesses will decide to secure their position in the challenge by simply donating the minimum $5,000. Others will decide to empower their staff and have them drive fundraising activities. And of course, for those who are looking to be a part of the Premiership Team or Club Champion, staff fundraising may be matched dollar for dollar with company sponsorship.

•A uction off being ‘CEO for the day’ at your business

Whatever you decide, here is your opportunity to develop staff skills, meet some memorable people, get involved in the community and have a genuine impact in the world that surrounds us.

All businesses, as a player in the competition will also have their own ‘locker room pep talk’ where Youth Opportunities staff will meet with you and your staff to assist in developing your game plan.

•G et your clients, suppliers and networks to support you through a raffle •M ouse racing: have people buy a mouse to enter in a race and take bets on whose mouse will win •D onate a portion of your profits or sales from your playing round

Since doing the Youth Opportunities program I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wagged a lesson. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been fighting with my mum half as much. My teachers and parents have noticed my improvement and I feel really proud to have made these changes.

OUR COMMITMENT

Our Commitment to you to guarantee fun and fair play for all: • Pre-season locker room pep talk to assist you with planning your fundraising activities • Halfway coaching session if you choose • Regular updates throughout the season • Marketing material for you to use to promote your involvement • The opportunity to ‘handball’ at a special event between every round • Celebratory event with Premiership Count and extensive media coverage • Online promotions including a dedicated campaign website • Social media marketing opportunities • Media coverage throughout the entire challenge period.

Working with young people helps put what we do on the field into perspective. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rewarding to see the direct impact and influence we have on them to help make positive life choices for their future.

About Youth Opportunities

Youth Opportunities is a South Australian not-for–profit organisation that delivers Personal Leadership Training to young people to help them make positive choices for their future. Offered to Year 10 school students in approximately 25 schools and organisations across metropolitan and regional South Australia, the Youth Opportunities Personal Leadership Program is an intensive one-dayper-week, 10 week training program. The program engages and extends participants knowledge and skills in areas not typically part of their schooling but that are crucially important to life. This results in young people becoming more engaged in school, confident, better equipped to deal with challenges and able to exercise positive and enduring leadership in their own lives. But like a young person’s journey to a better future, we cannot do it alone. As a charity the impact we have on young people is limited only by the support we receive from the community. This means you have the power to give a young person the chance to positively change their life by getting involved in the 2012 Corporate Handball Challenge!

About CROWS FOUNDATION

The Crows Foundation was born in May 2005, out of a need for the Adelaide Football Club to better manage the vast volume of requests for help and support by South Australian charities. With a charter to help children in need the Crows Foundation operates independantly of the Adelaide Football Club and is overseen by a Board of Directors who meet at monthly board meetings. The Crows Foundation’s key charter is to raise and distribute funds for children in need across South Australia (such as sick and disadvantaged children), through health, education and welfare programs. To date, over $500,000 has been donated to different children’s charities across South Australia. 100% of all funds raised are donated to charity with the Adelaide Football Club supporting its foundation by covering all administrative costs. Through the profile of the Club and the players, led by Crows Foundation Board member Jason Porplyzia, the Crows Foundation has also been able to raise awareness of numerous children’s charities in SA as well as galvanise the football community, whether it be members or coterie groups, to work together to help children in need.
