Following our calls for Bulldogs members and fans to #bringthebeats in Round 17, you answered by bringing an electric atmosphere to ANZ Stadium on Friday night.
Official Game Day Partner Rashays Pizza, Pasta & Grill also got into the spirit offering all Bulldogs Members a Free Pizza as part of their Facebook Competition.
The Bulldogs again ran our Seat Upgrade, Bomb Competition and Scan the Crowd competitions which were also powered by Rashays Pizza, Pasta & Grill .
The sound of drums could be heard from the Kennel right around the stadium with amazing performances from Zaffet Lebnen who performed in the lead up and during the match!
Back by popular demand and to continue the #bringthebeats theme, The Party Crashers Australia brought some amazing tracks to ANZ Stadium playing on the field and also crashing the Members after party in Club 18.
With experience and skill that ranges from break dancing, DJ'ing, MC'ing, drumming and percussion and Live performances around Australia, the Party Crashers are a show not to miss!
You can check out what the Party Crashers are up to on their Facebook page HERE.
The Sapphires also got into the festival atmosphere, bringing some colour to the faces of plenty of fans as well as posing for photos at the Sapphires Photo Booth.
Several of the Sapphires and player's partners also pulled on their running shoes for Suicide Prevention Australia, participating in the Plebs, Pros & Personalities treadmill run during the game to pledge their support to this great cause.
Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Chairman Ray Dib and Chief Executive Raelene Castle were extremely proud to present Suicide Prevention Australia with a cheque for $15,000 on behalf of the Leagues Club and Football Club.
In addition to this extremely generous donation, Bulldogs Members and Fans also donated just shy of $3000 dollars through bucket collections throughout the evening.
Suicide Prevention Australia supports communities and organisations throughout Australia, and promotes collaboration and partnerships in suicide and self-harm prevention, intervention and post-vention.
