Footy Colours Day 2025: The Kick-Off

  • Activity
  • Community

Join Fight Cancer Foundation for a landmark celebration as they mark 30 years of Footy Colours Day – a vibrant event uniting Melbourne’s community to raise vital funds that help kids kick cancer.

This premier fundraising lunch will be held at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) and promises an afternoon of inspiration, connection, and impact.

Enjoy a delicious two-course lunch with drinks whilst gaining inspiration from guest speakers from the sporting and business world, and perspective from a cancer patient's family.

With live auctions and raffles with incredible prizes, plus rub shoulders with celebrities, sporting personalities, and long-time supporters.

Every ticket purchased supports kids with cancer by providing a comforting home away from home during treatment where the family can stay together.
