The Dragons are partnering with The Burraga Foundation for Round 17's 50-50 Charity Raffle at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium against the Dolphins.
The Burraga Foundation is an Aboriginal not-for-profit charity organisation established in 2016.
Its establishment was in honour of Joe Andersons’s legacy (named King Burraga) and his work as an activist, leader, and proud Aboriginal man.
His story and inspiration transcends generations and supports all Australians in finding a greater understanding of Aboriginal Australia.

The Dragons have worked with The Burraga Foundation for the past two years through the School-Based Traineeships program with the program designed to help Year 11 and 12 students to gain valuable work skills and experience through paid employment whilst completing secondary school.
School-based apprenticeships and traineeships (SBATs) provide students with the opportunity to attain a nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET) qualification as well as the Higher School Certificate (HSC) during years 11 and 12.
The Dragons currently host two school-based trainees specifically targeted at supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from our community.
The Burraga Foundation work aims to promote a greater understanding across communities through cultural awareness training, consultancy, programs and initiatives, working alongside Aboriginal people and communities, supporting schools, government, and non-government organisations to foster genuine and lasting local partnerships.
In our club’s journey towards reconciliation and closing the gap we encourage you to get along to Kogarah this Sunday afternoon to support The Burraga Foundation as our 50/50 Match Day Charity Raffle partner or, if you cannot make the game, purchase a ticket online.
