The Dragons are proud to be partnering with Burraga Foundation for this Saturday's 50-50 Charity Raffle when we take on the Sharks in an Indigenous Round double-header at Jubilee Stadium.
The Burraga Foundation is an Aboriginal not-for-profit charity organisation whose initiatives aim to champion a better understanding of Aboriginal Australia for all Australians by working in partnership with Aboriginal communities to support cultural awareness, community engagement, training and employment opportunities.
They work alongside Aboriginal people and communities, supporting schools, government, and non-government organisations to foster genuine and lasting local partnerships and also facilitate the provision of modern technologies to support relationship building, enable learning, and empower Aboriginal language revival.
The Burraga Foundation was inspired by activist and leader Joe Anderson who also known as King Burraga.

He was one of the first Aboriginal men to use film and the cinema to demand recognition for his people having been filmed delivering a message to the people of Australia whilst standing on the banks of a tributary of the Georges River called Salt Pan Creek back in 1933.
Joe’s forward thinking to utilise the most innovative and modern mediums to empower his people has transcended generations.
The Burraga Foundation offers a range of services including on-country tours, cultural awareness training, cultural consultation, partnerships, Reconciliation Action Plan development and support, and digital resource and materials development.
We encourage all fans to show their support – every donation, big or small, helps make a difference.
