The club and the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation will join forces with Kick It For Brain Cancer 2020 on March 29 to help raise funds for the disease.
Volunteers from the local brain cancer community will collect donations and sell merchandise at Mars Stadium, which will be broadcast on Fox Sports and streamed on Kayo Sports and the MyFootball Live app.
Western United Head Coach Mark Rudan, whose mother Ana was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2018, said he and his sister were shocked at the lack of options for their mother. It inspired them to create Kick it For Brain Cancer, which raised more than $90,000 in 2018.
"More kids die of brain cancer than any other disease, and more kids play Football than any other code," Rudan said.
