RAISING FUNDS FOR THE ILLAWARRA CONVOY

The St George Illawarra Dragons are this weekend partnering with the i98FM Illawarra Convoy for the club's 50-50 Charity Raffle.

The Dragons, Remara, JAC Motors, NRL, St George Venues, Venues NSW, WIN Network and i98FM will each be donating a dollar for each person who attends Saturday's double-header.

The largest gathering of trucks and bikes in the Southern Hemisphere, the i98FM Illawarra Convoy is one of the most extensive regional fundraisers in the country.

Money raised from the event provides support to individuals and families affected by life-threatening medical conditions, local hospitals and contributions to charities who service patients impacted by severe illness.

We encourage all fans to show their support – every donation, big or small, helps make a difference.

FANS ON THE FIELD

15 minutes after full-time, fans will be invited on the field to farewell the club's departing players.

i98FM will also be broadcasting live at the venue from midday with Father's Day giveaways occurring throughout the day along with poster giveaways and lawn games.

A collection of trucks from the i98FM Illawarra Convoy will also be on display throughout the day.
