Wests Tigers five-eighth Benji Marshall is proud to be the club’s ambassador for the annual Call To Arms match to help raise awareness of cancer in men.
>
For the third consecutive year, Wests Tigers have staged the Call To Arms campaign with The Cancer Council.
>
The success of the campaign has led to the NRL One Community team to now take the Call to Arms program on as a charity partner.
>
This year’s Call to Arms match will be held at historic Leichhardt Oval on Sunday, June 20 when the Wests Tigers tackle Canberra Raiders.
>
Call To Arms is one of Cancer Council’s annual fundraising events that offers sporting groups of all ages and codes the opportunity to help raise funds and awareness for cancer in men.
>
Wests Tigers players will wear yellow armbands in the match to raise awareness. Fund-raising activities will be held at Leichhardt Oval on the day.
>
Sporting clubs are invited to hold a Call To Arms match during July (or another time in their season) where players wear a yellow armband in a show of support to men with cancer, survivors, and those who have lost their lives.
>
Clubs can also run fund-raising activities with proceeds going towards the Cancer Council's men's cancer research, prevention, information and support services.
>
Marshall said he was proud to be the Wests Tigers Call to Arms ambassador after losing his father in New Zealand to cancer last year.
>
“A lot of people don’t realise that one in two men in Australia will be diagnosed with cancer before the age of 85\. It could be your best mate or a team member. In my case – it was my father,” Benji said.
>
Marshall encourages Wests Tigers members and fans to support the club by taking part in the day’s fundraising activities or by donating through the Wests Tigers website.
>
He also invites sports teams across the country to follow Wests Tigers example and get involved in Call To Arms.
>
“Start to plan your Call To Arms match now. Pick a date in July or at another time during the season,’’ Marshall said.
