Thomastown United Cricket Club is powered by the generosity, skills and commitment of our local community.

As a volunteer-run club, we rely on sponsors, volunteers, families and community partners to help us provide affordable and inclusive cricket for junior, girls’, senior and veterans’ players.

Whether you can contribute funding, equipment, professional expertise or a few hours of your time, your support can make a genuine difference.

Become a Club Sponsor

Sponsoring Thomastown United is an opportunity to support community sport while connecting your business or organisation with players, families and supporters throughout Melbourne’s northern suburbs.

Sponsorship helps us:

• keep registration and participation costs affordable

• purchase playing and training equipment

• provide coaching and player-development opportunities

• support our girls’ and junior cricket programs

• improve club facilities

• deliver community events and participation programs

• recognise and support the volunteers who keep the club running

Sponsorship arrangements can be tailored to suit businesses of different sizes and budgets.

Depending on the partnership, opportunities may include:

• recognition on the club website and social media

• signage at Thomastown East Reserve

• branding on playing or training apparel

• recognition at club events and presentations

• sponsorship of a team, program, award or special event

• opportunities for staff to volunteer or participate in club activities

• direct involvement in initiatives supporting gender equality, youth development, health and community participation

We welcome both season-long partnerships and support for individual programs or events.

Support Girls’ Cricket

Thomastown United is particularly proud of its growing girls’ cricket program and its commitment to improving opportunities for girls and women in community sport.

Businesses and community organisations can support:

• girls’ teams and playing equipment

• coaching and player development

Supporting girls’ cricket is a practical investment in gender equality, youth development, health and the local community.
