All West Australian Football League players and umpires across all grades will wear silly socks to raise vital funds for children with serious illness, as part of Ronald McDonald House Charity Round 15 this weekend.

Each League game will feature a special Ronald McDonald Charity Fan Zone where kids can get involved in a range of fun activities and win some great prizes.

These activities include a spinning wheel, and a fries handball target. There will also be face painters and a lucky dip fans can take part in with a gold coin donation. All proceeds will go to Ronald McDonald House.


Ronald McDonald House provides a home away from home for regional families with seriously ill children so they can stay together while being close to the medical care they need.

You can help sick kids get back on their feet by registering your workplace or school for a Silly Socks Day. Click here to register.

Look out for your team’s silly socks next weekend at one of the following games:

Saturday July 14
Perth v Peel Thunder – Lathlain Park 2.15pm
Subiaco v South Fremantle – Leederville Oval 1.40pm
Swan Districts v East Perth – Steel Blue Oval 2.25pm
