Little Athletics Partnership with Coles

Little Athletics Australia is proud to have Coles as our major partner.

 

Since our partnership with Coles began in September 2017, Coles has donated over 3.7 million bananas to Little Athletics Centres across Australia and provided more than $2 million in sports equipment grants to 421 Little Athletics centres through the Coles Little Athletics Community Fund. There are just some of the ways Coles has supported community little athletics centres over the part five years.

Around 450 Little Athletics Centres across Australia have benefited from Coles banana donations and we are delighted that Coles will continue to donate bananas to centres at state and national events this season.
