The Dees will host the Roos at the MCG for a special addition of the game, with the players honouring Australians impacted by breast cancer during the warm-up.
Zurich’s logo on the club’s warm-up tee will be replaced by the names of individuals impacted, with fans nominating loved ones to have their name displayed and worn afront of the tee.
BCNA works to raise awareness of its important resources and services available to the 20,000-plus people who are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.
