Kinetic and Gold Coast Titans continue efforts to supercharge community outcomes

When it comes to kicking goals in the community the Titans Together program is second to none and Kinetic is set to proudly continue its partnership in 2024 following another hugely successful year for the flagship community initiative.

For a third consecutive year, Kinetic has continued its principal partnership of the Gold Coast Titans community program, which drives constructive and positive outcomes across social inclusion, junior participation and Indigenous Reconciliation.

Kinetic Executive General Manager for the Gold Coast and Tweed, Martin Hall, said the Gold Coast Titans were recognised as a leader across not only the NRL, but all sporting clubs nation-wide, when it comes to giving back to the community.

“What we have seen in the first two years of our Titans partnership is shared purpose and alignment of values and it has been a privilege to see the program continuing to grow each year and impacting local lives in a positive way,” Mr Hall said.

“In 2023 there were countless magical moments from watching the tenth anniversary of the run-out organised by Down Syndrome Queensland at CBUS Super Stadium, to a record contingent of Leagueability players participating in the game they love.

“It takes a village to deliver meaningful programs for the community, and we are looking forward to strengthening our partnership with the Titans in 2024.”

Providing opportunities for youth to participate in sport is a key part of the program and in 2023 the Kinetic Titans School League officially became Australia’s largest school-based rugby league competition with more than 2,200 players competing across 320 games.

Gold Coast Titans CEO Steve Mitchell said it is an honour for the Titans to partner with industry leading organisations like Kinetic.

He said the company’s generous support since 2022 has allowed the Titans to continue to care, include, unite and inspire the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers communities, which the club aims to do again in 2024 and beyond.

“I’m extremely proud Titans Together continues to be a community focused organisation that makes a difference in people’s lives across our region,” Mr Mitchell said.

“We are bolstered by the wonderful support of our like-minded partner Kinetic, who are at the absolute forefront of all we do in uplifting our community.

“The last four years have seen us continue to drive a range of community projects across Indigenous education, inclusion projects like Leagueability and development participation, as well as continued support for local schools, clubs, charities and community organisations.

“These programs achieve real results and life-changing impacts every single day.”
