Canberra United have welcomed Gift of Life onboard after the organisation committed to become sponsors for the 2023/2024 Liberty A-League season.

Gift of Life is a not-for-profit association based in Canberra which aims to promote greater community awareness of the importance of organ and tissue donation and transplantation in the ACT and surrounding region as well as nationally to save Australian lives.

“We are delighted that Gift of Life have joined the Canberra United family as Back of Shorts partner for the forthcoming Liberty A-League campaign,” Capital Football Chairman, Angelo Konstantinou, said of the announcement.

“They are a vital organisation in Australia, providing community awareness via major events and activities during the year. We are hoping that our partnership can assist this drive to create even more awareness about the important role they play.”

Gift of Life actively supports efforts to increase the national consent rate for organ and tissue donation and highlights the importance of people signing on to the Australian Organ Donor Register – donatelife.gov.au.

“We have joined with Canberra United in order to continue to raise awareness on the importance of organ and tissue donation registration,” Catherine Scott, Gift of Life President said.

“We would encourage the fans of the club to take the next step and register to be an organ and tissue donor and have the conversation with your family.”

Anyone in Australia aged 16 and over can register on the Australian Organ Donor Register. It only takes one minute. By filling in the online form, you are registering to be an organ and tissue donor. This means that one day you could save the lives of many people. To read more, or to sign up, please visit www.donatelife.gov.au/canberraunitedfootballclub.
