The Prize
Budget Direct is a proud partner of the Storm, Rabbitohs, and Dolphins, and is committed to championing the communities behind the teams.
This season we are taking the team rivalry to the next level for something bigger than the game.
It's not just about premiership points anymore. The teams are fighting for the biggest share of $175,000 - the higher they finish on the ladder, the more we donate to their chosen cause. That said, we have designed it so all the charities involved will get a significant cash donation from Budget Direct.
Each team has selected their nominated charities:
Rabbitohs: Souths Cares
Storm: Starlight Children's Foundation
Dolphins: Yalari & Chameleon Housing
1st Place
$100,000
2nd Place
$50,000
3rd Place
$25,000
Three fans will also win big!
One Dolphins fan will win $10,000 in cash and $10,000 that Budget Direct will donate to their nominated charity.
One Rabbitohs fan will win $10,000 in cash and $10,000 that Budget Direct will donate to their nominated charity.
One Storm fan will win $10,000 in cash and $10,000 that Budget Direct will donate to their nominated charity.
It’s a win-win for fans and the community. Register your details today to be in the running.
