Building Community Through Sport: JG King Homes' Support of the Ballarat Bulldogs Football Netball Club
In the heart of Ballarat, the Ballarat Bulldogs Football Netball Club stands as a beacon of inclusivity, offering individuals with intellectual disabilities the opportunity to engage in football and netball within a supportive community. This commitment to inclusivity has been significantly bolstered by the sponsorship of JG King Homes, Victoria's largest builder of steel frame homes renowned for its dedication to community development.
Established in 1985, JG King Homes has grown from its humble beginnings in Ballarat to become a leading home builder across Victoria. Despite its expansion, the company has remained deeply rooted in its community, actively participating in various philanthropic endeavours. Notably, JG King Homes has been instrumental in supporting local sporting teams, including the Ballarat Football Club and the Wendouree Ballarat Rowing Regatta.
The partnership between JG King Homes and the Ballarat Bulldogs exemplifies the positive impact of corporate sponsorship on community sports. Through their support, JG King Homes has enabled the Bulldogs to acquire new uniforms and equipment, enhancing the experience for all players involved.
This collaboration highlights the importance of community engagement and the role business can play in fostering inclusive environments. By investing in the Ballarat Bulldogs, JG King Homes, not only supports athletic development but also promotes social inclusion and community cohesion.
Mark Darmanin, Executive General Manager - South West at JG King Homes, highlighted the deep alignment between the two organisations.
"At JG King Homes, our core values centre on building strong communities where people feel they belong. The Bulldogs' values of inclusion, teamwork, respect, belonging and growth mirror our own, making this partnership not only natural but deeply meaningful. We're proud to support a club that gives so much back to the Ballarat community."
As the Ballarat Bulldogs continue to thrive, the support from sponsors like JG King Homes remains vital. Their commitment serves as an inspiring example of business can contribute meaningfully to their communities, ensuring that sports remain accessible and enjoyable for everyone, regardless of ability.
