Scope’s clients gearing up for the Ray White 2010 EJ Whitten Legends Game

For immediate release: Wednesday 30th June 2010

While Victoria takes on the All Stars at Eithad Stadium on Tuesday 6th July, football fans living with a disability will be joining the fight against prostate cancer off the field in support of the Ray White EJ Whitten Legends Game.

For the 3rd year 100 of Scope’s clients, their families and staff will attend the game, with some also selling the Football Record throughout the event.

Two lucky Scope clients will also have the once in a life time opportunity to meet the players in the rooms before they hit the field.

Part-proceeds from the sale of these programs will go towards Scope’s mission in supporting people living with a disability to achieve their potential in welcoming and inclusive communities.
“Scope is thrilled to be involved in selling the AFL Records once again for the Ray White EJ Whitten Legends Game, Scope’s clients and staff love being involved in the game each year,” said Diana Heggie, Scope CEO.

“Prostate cancer is an issue for all men, including men who live with a disability. The best defense against prostate cancer is early diagnosis and treatment. Scope is urging all men to get their prostate checked by their GP during regular check ups”.
