Wildcats Open-Air Game Supporting MSWA
Earlier this year, the Perth Wildcats partnered with MSWA to raise awareness and funds in support of West Aussies living with neurological conditions. Amongst a sellout crowd, the Perth Wildcats defeated the Adelaide 36ers in an exciting, nail-biting game
Melanie Kiely, MSWA CEO, had the opportunity to celebrate some of the important work MSWA does to empower people living with neurological conditions to live their best life, and the importance of continuing to support such an important cause.
It was wonderful to see the MSWA basketball fans take centre stage for a quarter time courtside activation, joining club legends and other sporting heroes including Shawn Redhage and Nic Naitanui to distribute MSWA merchandise into the crowds.
Amelia, 6, the daughter of MSWA Client Peter Wells, had the special role of being the ball kid for the evening, handing over the basketball for the first jump of the match. Amelia had a great time and was so excited to meet her favorite player, Wilbur the Wildcat!
“Thank you so much for the amazing opportunity! Amelia had the time of her life. It was so exciting for her that when she went to bed, she was talking “wildcats” in her sleep!
She keeps asking when she can go and watch again!" Peter exclaimed.
A huge thank you to Boom Logistics for generously donating $300 for every free throw made, and to our long-time partner Retravision for contributing $200 for every three-pointer scored by the Wildcats.
Collectively we raised a total of $8,600 in support of West Aussies living with neurological conditions!
We look forward to building our community partnerships and providing more opportunities for Clients to join us at events throughout the year. Be sure to keep an eye on Bulletin for updates!
