Ladder is thrilled to receive a donation of $50,000 from members of the Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC).

MCC Chief Executive Stephen Gough presented Ladder General Manager Mark Bolton (pictured) with the cheque at the recent AFL Players’ Association Most Valuable Player Awards night.

MCC members were inspired to donate the funds by the choice of AFL players playing in the May 10 Hall of Fame Tribute match to donate all of their match fees from the game to three organizations, including Ladder.

Ladder General Manager Mark Bolton was pleased to see Ladder enjoy such support, “I am very happy that as one of the games key stakeholders, the MCC has joined the team.”

“I’d like to think that Ladder has the potential to change lives. Not only of the youth that are involved in our programs but also the players themselves; giving them a sense of perspective and also fulfillment that comes from helping others,” Bolton said.

Bolton said Ladder is committed to using the power of AFL football to assist some of Australia’s most marginalised youth.
