The tradition of the Charity Shield began in 1982 and so too did the tradition of supporting local hospitals.

St George and Wollongong Public Hospitals are two nominated organisations within the charity pillar of Dragons Community.

Dragons Community is a strategic initiative of the St George Illawarra Dragons that encompasses eight pillars: Health, Education, Mentoring, Women & Girls, Charity, Grassroots Rugby League, Cultural and Environmental.

It is a comprehensive and sustainable program that aims to have a positive impact on people’s lives within our community that stretches from Kogarah in the north to Batemans Bay in the south of New South Wales.
