NSW Government to sponsor Souths
14 Jan 2008
NSW Deputy Premier the Hon. John Watkins MP was joined by South Sydney Rabbitohs Executive Chairman Peter Holmes à Court today to announce a unique sponsorship initiative seeking to promote Sydney as an investment and tourism destination.
SydneyAustralia.com is to appear on the front of the Rabbitohs jersey when they take on the Leeds Rhinos in the Australia Day Challenge in Jacksonville, Florida on January 26, as well as signage and promotional opportunities across the United States.
The SydneyAustralia.com sponsorship will complement the commitment made by the NSW government to the activities being conducted in the GDay USA program of events, the largest Australian trade fair in the US spanning Los Angeles, New York and Jacksonville.
Mr Holmes à Court says the Rabbitohs are excited by the opportunity to work with the NSW government in promoting Sydney.
Were delighted to help profile Sydney as we take the Rabbitohs into the largest sporting and business market in the world, Mr Holmes à Court said.
There is a lot of excitement in Florida surrounding the game and were very happy to be able to help spread the message of the benefits of doing business in, and visiting, Sydney to the residents of the United States.
Im thankful for the business support weve found already in Florida and look forward to using this interest to promote Sydney.
The Australia Day Challenge is one of the feature events on the GDay USA calendar and the team is looking forward to playing its part when representing Sydney in Jacksonville for the two-week tour.
Sydney Ambassador to the United States of America, the Hon. Kristina Keneally MP will be representing the NSW government at the Australia Day Challenge and at GDay USA events during Australia Week.
Deputy Premier Watkins said: Ms Keneally will take on the role of promoting Sydney and NSW in the US − she is a natural choice for this role as she was born in the US and has many contacts there.
She joins a group of high profile and influential individuals who are using their networks to ensure that the strengths of NSW are well understood by business and government decision makers around the world.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs play the Leeds Rhinos on Saturday 26 January at Hodges Stadium at the University of North Florida (UNF). The team will undertake a ten-day training camp leading up to the game at UNF, plus a number of other promotional events.
The Rabbitohs have many sponsors who do business in the US, and the Club has many Australian companies supporting the Club on their tour to Florida. Existing sponsors such as Virgin Blue, BlackBerry, Armani and Casella Wines are companies that conduct business in both Australia and North America.
