When you choose a local business along the Bellarine Peninsula, you are choosing more than a product or service. You are supporting the people, clubs, charities and community organisations that help make the Bellarine Peninsula a great place to live.
For Drysdale Mowers, being part of the local community goes well beyond selling and servicing your lawn mowers, outdoor power equipment and garden machinery. Through a growing network of local sponsorships and partnerships, Drysdale Mowers is a proud supporter of local sporting clubs, charitable causes and emerging young talent across the region.
From football and soccer to golf, charity initiatives and kickboxing, these partnerships reflect a simple philosophy: local businesses and local communities are stronger when they support each other.
Sport plays a huge role in bringing local families together, and in 2026, Drysdale Mowers has been a proud sponsor of the Drysdale Soccer Club. Local sporting clubs provide much more than a place to compete, they give children and adults the opportunity to stay active, develop teamwork and discipline, make lifelong friendships and feel connected to their community.
By sponsoring our local team Drysdale Mowers is helping contribute to an organisation that brings people together through sport while encouraging participation and grassroots development. For us this is an important part of giving back to the community that supports our business year after year. Its even sweeter when we get to be apart of a club, like Drysdale Soccer Club, who can boast that all of their women’s teams, from under 13s through to Seniors have made the finals this year! A great achievement for any club, but especially for women’s sports across the Bellarine Peninsula.
The Bellarine Peninsula has a strong sporting culture, and golf is an important part of this, Drysdale Mowers is proud to support Clifton Springs Golf Club, helping contribute to a local sporting environment where members can enjoy the game, socialise and remain connected to their community. There is also a natural connection between a mower and a golf club. Maintaining quality turf and outdoor spaces requires the right equipment, knowledge and dedication. Supporting a local golf club is therefore a particularly fitting partnership for a business specialising in outdoor power equipment and lawn-care machinery.
Our community partnerships also extend to Leopold Football and Netball Club, supporting another important grassroots sporting organisation on the Bellarine.
Australian Rules football has long been part of the fabric of local communities. Clubs provide opportunities for players of all ages while creating social connections for families, volunteers, coaches, supporters and the local community.
Community fundraising and charity initiatives rely heavily on local businesses, sporting organisations and individuals working together. Sponsorship is one way Drysdale Mowers can play its part and help shine a light on causes that matter to local people. For the past few years Drysdale Mowers has proudly supported Team Jack, a charity that raises money each year for the Royal Childrens Hospital and the Ronald McDonald House, and the Ryan Gatgens Memorial Golf Day, that raises money for Hope Bereavement Care in Geelong. Two amazing local charities that are raising funds to keep valuable and vital resources available and accessible to all families in their time of need throughout Victoria.
It’s important that Community support isn’t only about established clubs and organisations. Drysdale Mowers is also a proud to supporter of Nas Bunjaku, a young and up-and-coming kickboxer, son of the legendary Prince Bunjaku. Backing emerging athletes is an investment in the next generation. Young competitors put enormous effort into training, discipline and personal development, and sponsorship can provide valuable encouragement along the way. Kickboxing demands focus, determination, fitness and resilience, qualities that make supporting a promising young athlete, such as Nas, particularly rewarding.
These partnerships also demonstrate the importance of supporting local businesses. When customers choose to shop locally, they help create a cycle in which local businesses can continue supporting clubs, charities, athletes and community organisations. Drysdale Mowers is proud to be a local business serving the Drysdale, Clifton Springs, Leopold and wider Bellarine Peninsula community.
While providing quality outdoor power equipment and lawn-care solutions remains at the heart of our business, being a local business also means having a responsibility to contribute to the community around it. For Drysdale Mowers, supporting local young talent is another way to help create opportunities and encourage young people to pursue their ambitions. For our business, sponsorship is about more than advertising, it is about being part of the community.
Drysdale Mowers continues to build connections with the people and organisations that make the local area special. Whether it is a child pulling on a soccer jersey, a footballer running onto the field, golfers enjoying a round at their local club, a charity raising funds for an important cause or a young athlete working towards their next competition, local organisations create connections that extend far beyond their individual activities.
Drysdale Mowers is proud to play a small part in all these stories.
