Dragons/RSL Partnership 2016

The Dragons will again support the spirit of ANZAC and the RSL movement in 2016, something that began with the ANZAC Day Cup tradition in 2002 between the Dragons and the Roosters.

Each year over 5,000 armed service personnel attend the match with 10% of those taking up free entry.

The RSL in conjunction with Lifestyle Solutions, a National Disability Service Provider are joint Match Day Presenting Partners for the 2016 fixture.

Both organisations will be provided with many opportunities to “showcase” their strategic objectives and services.

The RSL also have the opportunity to generate funds through the sale of pins and poppies as well as collect gold coin donations at the game - an activity, which, in the past, has generated considerable funds for the RSL movement.

The Dragons, the Roosters and the RSL jointly promote their support for this special game and occasion through the positioning of their logos, together, on the Dragons and Roosters commemorative jerseys.

The RSL movement officially supports the activities of the Dragons and Roosters, year in year out, and have done so since 2002.
