Purple Ribbons will be available for all players at a cost of $5 each for Sunday and wear during games.

Purple is for Pancreatic Cancer, proceeds going to Dare to Hope, charity set up by former Hawthorn player Paul Dear’s widow Cherie.

Cherie will be the guest speaker at the Royals Club on Sunday.

We would appreciate if all players and guests of the Royals Club were sporting the ribbons in support of Dare to Hope.
