CELEBRATE STAY KIND ROUND

Wests Tigers and Parramatta will once again join forces to promote the Stay Kind Round — a message developed in partnership with the Thomas Kelly Youth Foundation. The Thomas Kelly Youth Foundation launched the Stay Kind initiative in memory of Stuart Kelly, remembered for his continued support and kindness to his brother Thomas and to others. The Foundation's aim is to raise awareness of youth suicide and community values through a National Stay Kind Day. Through the Stay Kind initiative the Foundation will promote the prevention of self-harm and suicide by running campaigns that promote better communication, changed behaviours and values for youth and the general community. This will be achieved through awareness initiatives in homes, schools, sporting codes, and the general community.

On the day, fans can support the Thomas Kelly Youth Foundation with the 50/50 raffle —proceeds generated from the raffle will go directly to the foundation and the Stay Kind initiative.
