The Tigers have always been a proud community club and they’ll once again walk the walk in that regard on Saturday when they wear special Wiggles-inspired jerseys in support of young Caleb Clarke.
The jerseys will then be auctioned off at a fundraising event at Tradies Club following the match along with some other prizes that will be up for grabs including open-air corporate box package for up to 14 people at the Dragons-Bulldogs game at Kogarah in round 24.
Funds raised will then go towards important renovations at the Clarke family home, with club members set to move en masse to the household on Saturday July 14 to install new pathways and ramps to assist with access for Caleb's wheelchair and other adjustments to make life a little bit easier.
The initiative followed a simple approach from the Clarke family to have Caleb run out with the first grade team at some stage during the season.
The Tigers club has gone above and beyond that request in rallying around a member of their community in need of assistance in both sentiment and action. The game of rugby league doing great things at the grassroots. Kickoff tips its hat to the Tigers club for their efforts.
