The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) has today pledged support of $100,000 to the Queensland Flood Relief Appeal.

On behalf of the Olympic movement and all Australian Olympians, the AOC has pledged a donation consistent with its response to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal in 2009.

“Like all Australians, the AOC has been shocked by the devastation that has been caused in recent weeks by the unprecedented levels of flooding across many communities throughout Queensland,” AOC President John Coates said.

“Queenslanders have consistently been great supporters of our Olympic Teams. It is only right that the Olympic movement shows its solidarity with the Queensland community during these difficult times.

“Our thoughts are with all the people of Queensland and we trust that this contribution will assist them to cope with the terrible impact of this disaster.”
