Denlo Volkswagen is proud to announce its new partnership with the Eastwood Ryde Netball Association (ERNA) and the ERNA Hawks, embarking on a mission to foster local sports development and strengthen community ties through the “Drive Safe – Play Strong” initiative.

“I’ve been looking forward to initiating a driving program as an opportunity to teach, help, and mentor young females in our Western Sydney community on how to drive save and responsibly.” said Shane Hadley, Dealer Principal of Denlo Volkswagen. “This is an initiative I’m really excited about, and I’m really looking forward to where this can take us.”

In celebration of this partnership, Denlo Volkswagen is honored to introduce Maddy Proud as the Denlo Volkswagen Brand Ambassador. A celebrated figure in Australian netball, Maddy’s enthusiasm for the sport and her community aligns perfectly with the values at the heart of this collaboration.

Elevating Community Engagement Through Sport

Together, Denlo Volkswagen and ERNA are set to launch a series of initiatives designed to inspire and support netball players of all ages. These include exclusive training sessions with Maddy Proud, community events, and opportunities for young athletes and their families to become more knowledgeable on motor vehicle safety that will be valuable for years to come.

Sponsorships and Grants Coordinator, Eastwood Ryde Netball Association, Anne Doring (OAM), was thrilled to announce the partnership with Denlo Volkswagen: “This is more than a sponsorship.
