Members and supporters of the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs are being urged to join the first grade squad for tomorrow’s White Ribbon Walk in Lakemba.
The walk aims to raise awareness about the need to eliminate violence against women and furthers the Club’s commitment to the partnership with White Ribbon announced last week.
“We are always proud of the way Bulldogs fans rally to support important causes and we encourage everyone to join us in the march to support the White Ribbon campaign to end violence against women,” said Bulldogs CEO Raelene Castle.
“We want to see players, staff and supporters walking the streets of our community together, spreading the message that behaviour needs to change if women are to live safe from the threat of violence and abuse.”
Supporters are encouraged to dress in Bulldogs colours and join the team for the 1.5km walk from 5.30pm at Gilles Street, Lakemba, which finishes at Parry Park.
Those unable to join the walk are encouraged to follow the players’ lead and take the White Ribbon oath in which they swear never to commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women – http://www.whiteribbon.org.au/standup
