PAFC vs Richmond - Game Day Charity Partner
Saturday 6 Aug, 2022
Show your support for the Childhood Cancer Association at the upcoming match between Port Adelaide Football Club and Richmond at Adelaide Oval on Saturday, 6 August.
11-year-old cancer survivor, Rhiley Murray will be the PAFC team mascot at the game. Rhiley is now in remission, but was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 2020 at age 9.
As the Game Day Charity Partner, the Childhood Cancer Association will be onsite selling merchandise and taking donations to support more than 400 local families battling childhood cancer. Please give generously.
For every $5 donation, you will be giving a virtual “High Five” to kids with cancer, which will ensure a family receives the ‘hands-on support’ they need during such a difficult time. Please donate here.
Thanks to our partner, Port Adelaide Football Club, for the opportunity.
When: Saturday, 6 August | Match starts at 7.10pm
Where: Eastern Plaza at Adelaide Oval | War Memorial Drive, North Adelaide
Tickets: via PAFC website
BUY A PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB ELLIOT
Elliot is more than just an adorable, fluffy friend that kids of all ages adore — he’s our mascot and he’s also a best mate for children with cancer.
Every child who’s referred to us is given an Elliot to help them on their journey, and he also plays a really important role in our fundraising activities.
Every cent of every dollar from a sale helps more families affected by childhood cancer.
For $40 you can buy your very own Elliot mascot with a knitted Port Adelaide Football Club hoodie.
