Following a successful partnership in 2020, AVID Property Group (AVID) have once again signed on to support the Collingwood AFL Women’s (AFLW) team for the 2021 season.

AVID Property Group General Manager Victoria Peter Vlitas, said the national property developer is delighted to announce their role as the official 2021 Collingwood AFLW Coach’s Partner.

“We are pleased to continue our relationship with the Collingwood Football Club’s Women’s team for another year,” Mr Vlitas said.

“Our sponsorship program is all about supporting local clubs and groups that bring people together, this is especially important after the isolation experienced by many members of our community in recent months due to COVID-19.

“Our ongoing partnership with Collingwood AFLW provides a unique opportunity to share the combined values of AVID and Collingwood Football Club with a broader audience.

“The AFLW players are fantastic role models, especially for young Australians, demonstrating persistence, resilience and teamwork throughout the challenges faced by the
team in 2020,” Mr Vlitas said

Last year, the Collingwood teams connected with AVID’s Victorian residents during lockdown, demonstrating at home workouts and setting challenges via video on AVID’s Facebook pages.

“This year, we are very excited to welcome the team into our Victorian neighbourhoods to meet and inspire our residents in person at COVID-safe events.

“The entire AVID team are proud to be associated with a club that brings such energy and passion to everything they do; we are looking forward to seeing where the 2021 season takes us – go the Pies!”
