The Sydney Roosters and Claremont College Year six Fundraiser
Friday 28th October
The Sydney Roosters Community team spent last Friday evening at Claremont College supporting the school’s Year 6 fundraiser. The Roosters ran a ‘Pass The Ball’ station, handed out prizes and donated a framed jersey signed by the NRL squad, which was auctioned off later in the evening.
The fundraiser was action-packed – from the sport zone, to the food stalls and even a dunking activity, the entertainment did not disappoint. ‘Pass The Ball’ was a big hit with children of all ages coming along for a turn and winning prizes.
The night ended with a flashmob performance by the Year 6 students and the auction, with all money raised going back to the school. The Roosters framed jersey was a real highlight and the perfect way to end the night for the lucky winner.
We would like to thank Claremont College for their ongoing support of the Sydney Roosters.

The Sydney Roosters Community team and Rocky the Rooster were on hand to help make the CarePacs and volunteered in the kitchen preparing the vegetables for Sunday’s meal for the homeless, a delicious curry.
