Manly Warringah Football Association is very excited to be supporting PanKind’s #PlayinPurple program for 2024. This fantastic campaign raises awareness that a healthy lifestyle, exercise, and social connection can help reduce the risk of cancer. All funds raised help PanKind get one step closer to their mission: tripling pancreatic cancer survival rates by 2030.
MWFA’s #PlayinPurple weekend will be July 20 – 21. We encourage all our clubs to register and spread the word to their teams. Getting involved is as simple as swapping your club’s socks for PanKind purple socks on the campaign weekend, but you can also choose to fundraise, get your club sponsors on board and so much more. There’s also a NEW sock design this year!
Grassroots community football is the perfect platform to spread the message that exercise and social connection can help to prevent cancer. As an association, we are committed to helping raise the profile of pancreatic cancer through the #PlayinPurple campaign. It will be wonderful to see our clubs, players and community uniting for this important cause and shining a light on one of Australia’s toughest cancers.
To register for the campaign, visit www.playinpurple.org.au. There you will find the online shop to buy socks, as well as a host of assets and resources to help make your campaign a success.
If you have any questions about organising your #PlayinPurple campaign, please reach out to the team at PanKind via email: playinpurple@pankind.org.au
