CAFS community engagement coordinator Seb Claassen said the basketball stars were chosen because they were role models and represented that local connection.
“It’s great for CAFS to get involved with a huge local sporting association like Basketball Ballarat,” he said.
“It is truly a community connection for CAFS because we provide services for 6500 families in Ballarat each year and Basketball Ballarat draws families from across our region as well.”
A Minerdome donation point is designed to spread awareness and maximise fundraising opportunities throughout the basketball season.
“It’s a huge community activity and every competition from the South East Australian Basketball League right down to the junior tournaments puts CAFS in front of a big audience and gives us a good chance to engage with the community,” Mr Claassen said.
“We encourage people to get involved.”
