Zenn Ability commits to supporting Panthers Foundation
Panthers disability services provider Zenn Ability has renewed its partnership with the Panthers Foundation to support its Participation pillar for a further two years.
Zenn Ability will support the Panthers Foundation in achieving its Participation objective of increasing and diversifying opportunities to play and engage with rugby league, breaking down barriers that may prevent or limit participation.
"We are incredibly proud to continue our partnership with the Panthers Foundation," said Zenn Ability CEO Laurie Slade.
"Our shared commitment to creating accessible opportunities for people with disabilities to engage in rugby league aligns perfectly with our mission.
"Through this collaboration, we look forward to breaking down barriers and providing meaningful participation opportunities for all members of our community, helping them achieve their fullest potential."
With the support of Zenn Ability, the Panthers Foundation will deliver outreach programs to young people across Western Sydney, the Blue Mountains and Central West.
These will encourage females, people with disability, people from Indigenous and multicultural backgrounds and people from remote and regional areas to engage and participate in rugby league.
As part of the partnership, Zenn Ability will sponsor a series of Play Like a Panther Disability Clinics taking place in Penrith, Bathurst and Mudgee.
Zenn Ability will also extend its support to the Panthers Foundation's Christmas in July initiative in 2025.
"We are so fortunate to have a close association with the team from Zenn Ability," said Panthers Foundation Chairman Peter Graham.
"Their commitment to the active support of people with a disability in our community is an inspiration to us. We are delighted to join with them in our Foundation promoting a greater number of opportunities for people with a disability to participate in our great game."
Penrith Panthers and Panthers Foundation thank Zenn Ability for their continued support to ensure rugby league continues to be an increasingly accessible sport to all.
