Wests Tigers are proudly auctioning off signed, player-worn jerseys to raise funds for Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, a not-for-profit cancer hospital providing integrated, patient-centred care for people living with cancer.
All 17 jerseys worn in the club’s upcoming NRL clash with the New Zealand Warriors will be up for auction, with proceeds split evenly between Chris O’Brien Lifehouse and Wests Tigers Empower.
As part of this important initiative, Wests Tigers Premier Partner PlayUp has generously donated its upper-back jersey sponsorship asset for Round 19 to feature the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse logo.

This initiative further strengthens the club’s ongoing relationship with Chris O’Brien Lifehouse, which began in 2022 when PlayUp first donated its apparel sponsorship for the same cause. From 2026, the partnership will grow even further, with PlayUp and Wests Tigers committing to feature the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse logo on the upper back of all junior retail jerseys and training apparel.
"We’re proud to once again stand beside Chris O’Brien Lifehouse and Wests Tigers in supporting the incredible work they do," said Paul Jeronimo, CEO of PlayUp Australia.
It’s an honour to use our platform to shine a light on the patients and families who rely on Chris O'Brien Lifehouse’s life-changing care.

The cause is especially close to the club’s heart this season, with Senior Athletic Performance Coach Alex Clarke currently receiving support from Chris O’Brien Lifehouse following a rare brain tumour diagnosis in 2024.
Fans are encouraged to bid generously and help raise vital funds for Chris O'Brien Lifehouse’s groundbreaking treatment, research and supportive care services, while also backing the critical work of Wests Tigers Empower.

Gail O'Brien AO from Chris O'Brien Lifehouse, is delighted to progress the partnership with Wests Tigers further.
"The funds raised will be vital to ensure that we can continue to reach more patients, provide them access to the highest level of patient care, and keep striving to reduce the journey from research findings to treatment options," O'Brien said.
The jersey auction is currently LIVE on the Wests Tigers Roarstore website. All 17 match-worn jerseys will be signed by the respective players following the match.
