TALENTED JOE SEEKS SPONSORSHIP

Selected to represent at Deaflympics
JOEL Blanchfield-Keane is a 16-year-old goalkeeper from the Central Coast, currently playing for East Gosford FC.
 
His impressive sporting journey includes playing for the JR ZL Central Coast Mariners and the APIA U15s Development Squad.
 
His dedication, skill, and determination—both on and off the field—have positioned him as a promising talent and an inspiring representative of the deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
 
Joel has earned the honour of being selected to represent Australia at the 2025in Japan, taking place in November.
 
Deaf Football Australia (DFA) is not sponsored, so this means all athletes have to do their own fund raising, and this where are community of the Central Coast can help out.
 
To help make his participation possible, DFA is seeking sponsorship from local and national businesses. A sponsorship of $2,500 will not only help cover the significant travel, training, and competition costs but will also give your company the opportunity for valuable exposure.
 
In recognition of your support, your company’s badge/logo will be proudly displayed on the sleeve of Joel’s playing kit—offering visibility throughout his training, matches, and media coverage leading up to and during the Deaflympics (For
all sponsorship enquires please email: secretary@deaffootballaustralia.com.au)
 
Joel is also holding a Krispy Kreme Donut Drive on Saturday, August 30 from10am-2pm at Hylton Moore Oval. Stay tuned to social media for more fund raising that will help Joel obtain his goal.
 
Joel is also looking for donations for raffle prizes and silent auction prizes. You can also donate through his go fund me page using this QR code or https://gofund.me/cf231e7c
