The Northern Inland Academy of Sport (NIAS) is excited to announce its new partnership with Whitehaven Coal and looks forward to the opportunities this partnership will bring to the region.
CEO of NIAS Shona Eichorn says this partnership embodies a shared commitment to fostering local talent and expanding opportunities for our athletes and coaches, with Whitehaven Coal’s support to not only enrich the program’s capacity but also strengthen the ability to address the unique challenges faced by rural communities.
The COVID pandemic and recent environmental challenges highlighted the need for collective support to enhance not only the physical but also the mental, social, financial well-being and sustainability of individuals and communities in our region.
As the major sponsor for the upcoming annual NIAS Induction Day on 10 November 2024 at Lake Keepit, Whitehaven Coal’s investment will play a pivotal role in launching the next cohort of athletes and coaches into an enriching year of skill development, training, and competition.
