Sharks members and fans can own a match worn and personally signed Josh Dugan jersey, played in by the Sharks number one in the memorable round 25 victory over the Tigers, by making a winning bid in the special auction.
All funds raised will be donated to national youth mental health organisation headspace.
The Sharks Ken Stephen Medal nominee, while also presented the Sharks Have Heart Community award at the recent club presentation night, both accolades a result of his outstanding work in the community space, Dugan came up with the idea to auction his jersey for what is a cause close to his heart.
The round 25 Dugan jersey, as with all the jerseys of the Ken Stephen nominees, was specially embroidered to highlight achievements off the field and the contributions to community and charity events and organisations.
A staunch advocate for mental health awareness and a supporter of headspace, which is an NRL State of Mind Partner, it is hoped Dugan’s gesture in donating and auctioning his jersey can bring a much needed financial boost.
Headspace has centres all over Australia, with a local office in Miranda. Details and more information related to headspace is below.
