GOLD was first discovered in Ballarat in 1851 and it has been struck again by the Ballarat Demons.

The hard-working supporter group has provided the Melbourne Football Club with the fruits of its endeavours.

At half-time during last Sunday’s clash against Gold Coast at the MCG, a presentation was made in the Hassett Room by Ballarat Demons’ Roberta Laurie and Neil Brown to Melbourne director Russel Howcroft.

The cheque for $7000 was handed over to generous applause by all those fellow Demon supporters in the Hassett Room.

The 100% Melbourne campaign is the recipient of the Donation with specific instructions to contribute to Total Player Payments.

This $7000 donation brings the total donations from the Ballarat Demons to $30,000 which is a fantastic effort by this dedicated supporter group.

The club has acknowledged the Ballarat Demons by joining the Foundation Heroes Group as Foundation Hero #391.

Well done Ballarat Demons.
