Young Warwick athletes could win thousands

Successful applicants under the Building Futures program will win cash prizes of up to $5000.

The developer of local residential subdivision Aleva Estate, UKL Innovative Developments, has launched a new community sponsorship program to support young Warwick athletes.

Company director Terry Seirlis said by applying for the Building Futures program, local sporting stars will go in the running to receive cash prizes of up to $5000.

“Like most Australians, I was inspired by our Olympians and Paralympians, so I decided to set up a sponsorship program to help Warwick’s budding athletes to achieve their sporting dreams,” Terry said.

“With Brisbane Olympics 2032 coming our way, we are offering junior athletes in Warwick the chance to win a $5000 main cash prize with $2000 and $1000 available for minor placegetters who finish on the podium.”

He said Warwick was like a second home to him and his family, and he wanted to support the local community the same way it had supported Aleva Estate.

Warwick District Football Association secretary Peter Darton said the program was a great opportunity for local athletes, and players from his club would certainly be applying.

Local athletes have until the end of September to lodge their applications at www.alevaestate.com.au/community.

A short list of 12 applicants will be invited to an awards dinner at the Hawker Road Function Centre on Friday 29 October, where the prize winners will be announced.
