“Beyond getting behind the Scorchers, supporting the community in which we operate is a key element of our strategy and demonstrates our commitment and care for all.
“The opportunity to create the ‘Budget Direct Boundaries For Kids’ donation campaign, in support of the club’s charity partner Variety WA, is something we are proud to be involved with.”
WACA CEO Christina Matthews said the club was delighted to welcome Budget Direct to the WA Cricket family.
