Play in Purple 2025
Turn your field purple. Change the future of pancreatic cancer.
Play in Purple is a national pancreatic cancer awareness initiative proudly supported by community sporting clubs across Australia. Now in its 10th year, the campaign has raised over $750,000 and seen more than 270 clubs unite on the field for a common cause.
Whatever your sporting code—football, netball, hockey, cricket, or any team sport—you can take part by simply swapping your club socks for a pair of Pankind Foundation purple socks on one weekend of your season.
Why Get Involved?
By pulling on a pair of purple socks, your team will help:
- Fund life-saving pancreatic cancer research
-
Raise awareness of the role that exercise, a healthy lifestyle and social connection can play in reducing cancer risk
-
Honour those impacted by one of Australia’s toughest cancers
