Details of the Appeal and the ways in which the Football community and general public can become involved will be outlined by Mr Hammond at the Launch.
Mr Hammond said “We are launching the Appeal in Gladstone because the whole focus of our efforts is to assist the football families here who have been left in tragic circumstances by the blast at the Ammunitions Factory. The combined strength of the Football community will be coming to the fore in a bid to assist with the rebuilding of the lives of the devastated families. It is important that we make the effort to be in Gladstone to show our support and to assure them that the wider Football family cares about them and intends to support them in every way we can. The Appeal will provide everyone associated with Football through a Club involvement or simply as a spectator to make a contribution, to the cause.â€
A number of high profile football and business identities involved with the Appeal will be present at the Launch. All media are invited to attend.
