He thought it was an April Fool's joke, but for Simon Campbell it was the phone call of a lifetime.

Simon was the lucky recipient of a brand new Mazda CX-3, after being named the winner of the major prize in the club's Box On campaign. 

“I can’t wait to get my hands on the Mazda CX-3. I’ve never actually owned a brand new car before, but I’ll probably have to wrestle it off my wife first,” he told NMFC.com.au shortly after. 

Simon has been a passionate North supporter since the age of five, with his wife and three children now sharing his passion for the royal blue and white.

His contribution to the club's Box On debt reduction campaign put him into the running for the Mazda CX-3.  

“The debt was a real burden on the club not that long ago and as a member, I thought that those who are in a position to contribute should do so," Simon said. 

"I think we can all see that this campaign is having a positive impact on the club, by allowing us to pump more money into the football department which has now taken us to two prelims in a row.” 

The club has targeted $450,000 in contributions for 2016, with plenty of amazing prizes still to be won, including Spirit of Tasmania vouchers, team-signed jumpers, Sherrin footballs and match-day experiences, thanks to Mazda.
