It’s one of the most iconic fundraisers in Australia, and today North gets it chance to do play a big part in the Good Friday Appeal.

The Appeal raises vital funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital, and last year more than $17 million was collected through a range of fundraising initiatives.

History will also be made at Etihad Stadium when North takes on the Western Bulldogs in the first ever ‘Kick For The Kids’ clash.

 

Kick For The Kids

Together with the AFL and the Dogs, North has prepared a range of activities and events taking place at Etihad Stadium on Friday.

Keep an eye out for plenty of entertainment both inside and outside the stadium.

There will be both a pre-game and half-time concert inside Etihad Stadium, so make sure you’re in your seats early to catch all the action. Children’s entertainer Peter Coombe will perform in the half-time concert.

A special quarter-time activation will take place on the ground at the first break, with Brent Harvey, Anthony Stevens, Mick Martyn and Luke Darcy kicking for distance – with $100 for each metre the foursome kick going straight to the Good Friday appeal.

Coming to Etihad Stadium? There will be plenty of volunteers rattling tins, as well a special pair of bunny ears available for purchase for just $5. These will be available from roving sellers at the ground, or from each of the club’s Roo Shop outlets.

Since the Appeal began in 1931, more than $310 million has been raised.
