Dubbo Kangaroos Rugby Club
Supporter
The generosity of our community never ceases to amaze us, and the ongoing support of the Dubbo Kangaroos Rugby Club is testament to how big local hearts really are. Following the club's hugely successful recent Ladies Day event, members made a number of extraordinarily generous donations to various local and regional charitable organisations, including a whopping $10,000 to us at the Western Cancer Centre Foundation. The fight against cancer is one that's very close to the heart of the 'Roos, and we will be putting this wonderful donation towards something very special in recognition of the ongoing support of the club and it's members. On behalf of all those people and families from right across our region and the state who will benefit from the support of the WCCF, we say a massive THANK YOU, DUBBO 'ROOS!
