In our last post, we talked about the Bullcreek Leeming Junior Football Club (BLJFC) making history at Beasley Park with the first-ever Girls’ Footy Teams. The Club is doing it again by leading the way in WA as the first WA AFL club to join the nationwide #PlayinPurple for Pancreatic Cancer research. 1DC is of course thrilled to do their bit by sponsoring #PlayinPurple with BLJFC.
On the weekend of 30/31 July, players will wear purple socks to support the great #PlayinPurple cause. With 1DC’s Emma Bodin organising the weekend at the BLJFC club, it’s sure to be a huge success. Over 95% of kids at the footy club have already purchased purple socks and will be wearing them on the field for the #PlayinPurple weekend – that’s nearly 500 kids! Emma’s hoping to build on this year’s purple sock weekend so #PlayinPurple becomes a yearly event at BLJFC and grows bigger every year.
PlayinPurple is a nationwide initiative of PanKind, The Australian Pancreatic Cancer Foundation, which is exclusively dedicated to pancreatic cancer. Let’s go BLJFC! and really get behind a fantastic cause that brings community, teams and families together to help our dedicated researchers prevent pancreatic cancer.
