Beanies for Brain Cancer Round

Pre-game, all players will be wearing beanies for brain cancer, supporting the Mark Hughes Foundation for the 7th consecutive year.

One person is diagnosed with brain cancer every five hours, killing more adults under 40 and children under 10 than any other disease. Having already invested $20 million into research, help the foundation continue on their quest to defeat brain cancer and change the lives of Australian families affected by the terrible disease.

You can support the cause by purchasing your own beanie from Lowes Australia, selected IGA stores or online from markhughesfoundation.com.au.

Venue Info

For the first time since 2010, Melbourne Storm are returning to Marvel Stadium in Rounds 18 & 22 due to the need to relocate from AAMI Park during the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup!
