Downtown Toyota Sponsorship and Community
Morningside Australian Rules Football Club
Morningside Football Club joined the AFL Qld State League in 1950. In that time the “Mighty Panthers” have won premierships in 1965, 1991, 1993, 1994, 2003 and 2004. Downtown Toyota has a long and proud association with the Morningside Football Club. It has been no coincidence that both organisations have had successful eras since the partnership was formed. The relationship dates back 23 years and during that time Downtown Toyota has been a major sponsor of the Morningside Football Club. Downtown Toyota once again in Season 2009 is delighted to be associated with Morningside Football Club. Downtown Toyota wishes Morningside Football Club every success in Season 2009.

Gateway Learning Community
The Gateway Learning Community (GLC) is a network of seven state schools in the Brisbane South District of Education Queensland, who since 2002, have forged a vibrant partnership to enhance educational opportunities for their students, staff, parents and their extended school communities. The member schools incorporate 250 staff, over 2500 students and the wider school communities of Balmoral State High School, Bulimba State School, Cannon Hill State School, Morningside State School, Murrarie State School, Norman Park State School & Seven Hills State School.
Downtown Toyota is proud to be associated with 2 specific GLC initiatives. The first being “GLC Chaplaincy” and the other being “Big Night Out”.
Downtown Toyota recognises school families are not immune to life issues such as illness, divorce and bereavement. The GLC schools have found that chaplains assist to build resilience in the children and their families. Downtown Toyota understands the value of having chaplains in schools and has thrown its support, both financial and otherwise, right behind the program.
Want to learn more about GLC Chaplaincy please contact Andrew Walker, Principal Norman Park State School, on 3399 2777.
The GLC’s “Big Night Out” has been staged annually since 2003. The event brings around 5,000 people together in an evening to showcase and celebrate children’s learning. The “Big Night Out” is a huge feat of community involvement and collaboration with the mission not to fundraise, but to build community spirit and co-operation. A first in 2008 was the creation of a precinct dedicated towards showcasing environmentally sustainable practices. This precinct called “Sustainability Grove” was sponsored by Downtown Toyota. Families could learn about hybrid vehicles and inspect a Toyota Prius, get up close and personal to native animals and learn about local bushland revegetation. Also there were plenty of fun rides, face painting and giant games especially selected to encourage active participation. Downtown Toyota will once again be an active business supporter and sponsor of the GLC’s Big Night Out in 2009.

Cannon Hill Anglican College (CHAC)
In May 2008 Cannon Hill Anglican College hosted a Wetlands Festival. The Wetlands Festival is a bi-annual community event. The festival is themed around Environment, Community and Sustainability and is a major fund-raising event for the P&F, with profits being donated back to the College.
Downtown Toyota worked closely with CHAC’s P&F to promote the 2008 Wetlands Festival. Everyone has an important role to play in caring for the environment and this is something that is reflected in everything Downtown Toyota does – from how our cars are manufactured to how we interact with our community. The next Wetlands Festival will be held in 2010.

National Tree Day
National Tree Day, proudly sponsored by Toyota, is Australia’s biggest community tree planting event. National Tree Day has been an annual project for Toyota since 1999. CHAC, Planet Ark and Downtown Toyota teamed up in 2008 in support of School’s Tree Day. On Friday July 25, 2008 a number of CHAC students, Downtown Toyota staff members and Ranger Stacey from Channel Ten’s Totally Wild TV program came together on a local tree planting project. Downtown Toyota donated some 400 saplings which were planted in and around the CHAC school grounds.
In 2009, Schools Tree Day will be run on Friday July 31 and National Tree Day will take place on Sunday August 2.
