Essendon business partner Yakult increased its support in 2009 by making a financial contribution towards the club’s multicultural programs and activities.

The support enabled Essendon to provide significant value-add opportunities to program participants, including the provision of Yakult footballs and tickets to Essendon home games. The support also meant that a greater number of young people, predominately from the Flemington area, could participate in club activities.

Essendon wishes to that Yakult for its valuable support of its community programs and looks forward to working with them again in 2010.
