Boots for the Bush
Boots for the Bush is a North Queensland Toyota Cowboys program proudly presented by Elders that operates through generous donations of pre-loved football boots, allowing more kids to enjoy their footy.
The football boots are delivered to communities across North Queensland, giving people the opportunity to be a part of grassroots club initiatives that have a positive impact on communities across North Queensland.
The program includes donation points, and opportunities to donate at upcoming events. To get involved, donate your footy boots or email community@cowboys.com.au for more information.

A message of thanks from Fiona Pelling, Cowboys General Manager - Community:
"Everyone's contribution is appreciated! While the donation of a pair of boots might not seem much to some, to a young footballer it can really make a difference, as many families may not have easy access to sports stores and the right footwear to play. We truly value corporate partners like Elders, as they work with us to support grassroots rugby league, removing remoteness as a barrier to their passion for the sport."
North Queensland Cowboys respect and honour the Traditional Custodians of the land and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and future. We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the lands we meet, gather and play on.
