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

Play in Purple 2025 Dates:
🟣 Weekend 1: 26th–27th July 2025
🟣 Weekend 2: 2nd–3rd August 2025

Can't play on those dates? No problem—choose any weekend that suits your club's calendar.
