July 2007: Buckley's Entertainment Centre chairman Robert Foster announced a $ 2,500.00 handout to all local football clubs and umpires - 35 handouts in all.   That's $ 70.000.00 injected into our great game at this level. Buckley's this year so far has now put more than $ 140,000.00 into local football, and it doesn't stop there.   "We have also put more than $ 20,000.00 into local community needs through sponsorship," Foster said. "This is on top of the $ 1 Million the centre has spent in upgrading and renovating the venue for the betterment of the public and those who use it."

Buckley's is well known for the support and sponsorship the club provides throughout the Geelong and Bellarine Regions.

For some years running, Buckley's has become a major sponsor of "Relay For Life", a community based 24 hour walkathon, raising much needed funds for cancer research. 

In addition to this, Buckley's list of clubs and organisations to which support and sponsorship is provided are as follows:
