Coles Little Athletics Community FundFrom high jump mats and long jump sand to printers, trolleys and gazebos, Coles has donated over $1.6m worth of equipment to 376 Little Athletics Centres across Australia since November 2018. Funds for the grants are raised through the sale of specially-marked Little Athletics Australia chiller bags designed by Aussie kids. For every bag sold, 25 cents is directed to the Coles Little Athletics Community Fund. Round 6 applications will open on Sunday, 1 August and close 11:59pm EST on Tuesday, 31 August.
