Melbourne Victory Managing Director Caroline Carnegie expressed her support for the TAC All Abilities Gala.
“The TAC All Abilities Gala is a powerful celebration of inclusion through football, using football as a force for good,” Carnegie said.
“It brings to life Victory’s core values, to Lead, Unite, Connect and Inspire through football, by creating a space where everyone can share in the game we love. We’re proud to partner with the TAC to help build such a great event and a more inclusive football community across Victoria.”
The TAC’s Acting Head of Community, Ange Hann said she was proud to continue the partnership with Melbourne Victory, now in its 20th year, which provided an opportunity to engage directly with Victoria’s football community.
“We know that education is paramount in creating a culture that prioritises safety on our roads. This partnership empowers fans, players and clubs to become road safety ambassadors – spreading life-saving messages and supporting those affected by road trauma in getting their lives back on track,” Hann said.
Victory welcomes all fans to join us at Gosch’s Paddock for an afternoon of entertainment, inspiration, and community connection ahead of kick-off.
