What's On

Fourth Annual i4GiveCup

The Bulldogs and Eels will officially play for the i4GiveCup for the fourth time!

A joint initiative between Canterbury and Parramatta, the i4GiveCup is in memory of Sienna (8), Veronique (11), Angelina (12), and Antony (13), who all tragically passed away after a local drunk/drugged driver incident in Oatlands in 2020.

Danny and Leila Abdallah have made waves publicly when they announced their decision to forgive the driver responsible, and have since created the i4Give Foundation in recognition of the power of forgiveness when it comes to mental health support and helping individuals prosper.

Additionally, they have created i4Give Day -  marked on February 1st each year, as a remembrance to the four lives lost and as a national day to mark forgiveness.
