The Crows Children’s Foundation will receive $180,000 following the sale of a block of land at the Newenham development in Mount Barker.

The land was donated by South Australian property developer Burke Urban – which, along with its joint venture partners, have donated more than $450,000 to the Crows Junior Development Program over the past six years. 

The buyers, Aromel and Priya, said they were pleased the money from their purchase was going to a good cause.

Burke Urban Managing Director Kym Burke is humbled by the thought of helping those in need through the charity.

“We are thrilled we have been able to assist the Crows Children’s Foundation,” Burke said.

“I have been a fan of the football club since its inception and have had a long history with Variety the Children’s Charity.

“Burke Urban truly believe that, in creating communities, we also need to give back to community and there is no more worthy cause than disadvantaged children.

“Our project, Newenham in the Adelaide Hills, has been designed to support the health, happiness, and wellbeing of our community.”

Crows chief executive Andrew Fagan said the donation will impact greatly on the young people supported by the Crows Children’s Foundation.

“The Crows Children’s Foundation aims to use the power of football to positively influence young people and build stronger communities for them to thrive in,” Fagan said.

“It has been great to partner with a business-like Burke Urban whose values align with our own.

“We know this contribution will have a big effect on the lives of children throughout South Australia.”  

Lot 6 is a picturesque block of land situated in Stage 2 of Newenham’s Botanic Release.

The corner allotment is located directly across the road from a reserve and is the fourth land donation Burke Urban and their partners have made to the Adelaide Crows over the past six years.

Newenham is a 150-hectare, 750 home, master-planned community developed by Burke Urban and will become home to some 2000 residents over the next 10 years.
