50% of Australia’s elite athletes live below the poverty line. The stress of having to fully self fund all their sporting endeavours to achieve National representation often leads to this country losing many medalist hopefuls. These athletes are not only attempting to train full time and compete internationally but also have to juggle work too. Our athletes give back to the community in so many ways and sport really does have a way of bringing people together in a way that is quite magical. It is a leveller. It demonstrates human capabilities, across all areas and abilities. The WattleNest launched a campaign last week to help support Aussie athletes for their 2024 goals. “Every Number Has a Story”. It’s as simple as choosing a number on the grid and donating that amount. In return you will be making an impact and allowing our top athletes (who don’t get paid) to continue to shine a light on our incredible sporting nation, make a difference on the world stage and positively impact communities nationwide. The WattleNest really want to get some of the bigger numbers filled (up to the value of $2032), so if you’re interested, or know anybody that might be, please take the plunge and help make a difference.

A huge thank you to the 200+ people who have supported our “Every Number Tells A Story” Campaign. We are so thankful for the overwhelming support over our first five days and the generosity from our LinkedIn community. We need 2032 people to take a number and make a donation in order for us to enable 150 athletes to reach their potential. Close to 50% of our athletes are living below the poverty line, the struggle is real Australia! Can you help us fill the grid? https://lnkd.in/g7Xb-TKq #helpinghands #campaign #impactosocial #supportingeachother #partnerships #project #gridofthefuture #sportsbusiness #athlete #empowerment #enablingchange
