In Round 17, the NRL proudly joins forces with the Mark Hughes Foundation for the annual Beanie for Brain Cancer Round — a powerful initiative aimed at raising awareness and vital funds for brain cancer research and patient support. This special round has become a cornerstone of the rugby league calendar, uniting fans, players, and clubs in the fight against one of Australia’s deadliest diseases.
Founded by former NRL player Mark Hughes following his own brain cancer diagnosis, the Foundation has already made a remarkable impact — but the battle is far from over. Every beanie purchased and every donation made goes directly towards funding groundbreaking research, supporting families affected by brain cancer, and driving us closer to a cure.
Whether you’re cheering from the stands, your couch, or the sidelines, you can make a difference. Wear your beanie with pride and show your support for those doing it tough. Let’s pack the stands with blue and gold and help tackle brain cancer head-on.
To support the cause, you can buy a beanie at participating matches, selected retail outlets, or online. Every contribution counts — together, we can beat brain cancer!
