“People affected by breast cancer do not need to be alone.”

“As the heart of many communities, sporting clubs have the power to create ripple effects and transform attitudes.”

“We’re creating awareness that we want an inclusive game and that it doesn’t matter what your sexual orientation is”

The plan also encourages inclusion of women, people from multicultural backgrounds, and people with disabilities.
