Sep 13, 2017

Once again the Hamilton Medical Group is proud to be a part of such an amazing cause.

On friday September 22nd the Hamilton Medical Group will wear their club colours with pride while helping raise money for the fight against cancer.

What is Footy Colours Day?

Footy Colours Day was established in 1995 to help fund Fight Cancer Foundation then Bone Marrow Donor Institute's programs including the establishment of the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry.

Since 2005, Fight Cancer Foundation has used funds raised through Footy Colours Day to help young learners continue with their education while they receive treatment for cancer.

Each year hundreds of thousands of Australians stand shoulder to shoulder to unite in the fight against cancer by wearing their team's colours with pride throughout September at their school, workplace or club.

Show your true colours and make a difference in the lives of kids and young people living with cancer - register your Footy Colours Day activity and you can find fundraising tips and ideas about how to make your event bigger than the grand final.
