A chance to meet the stars of the NRL Indigenous Festival of Rugby League will come around on Wednesday, February 5th when players from the Knights and First Nation Goannas will converge on Camp Shortland for an exciting community event held by Awabakal Coop to promote its Deadly Choices health program.
The event, held between 5pm and 8pm, will be hosted by comedy and cultural performer, Sean Choolburra. Sean is one of Australia’s finest cultural ambassadors and has been hailed as Australia's number one Indigenous entertainer.
Players from the Knights and First Nations Goannas players will be available for signings and photos with supporters.
People can also visit the Deadly Choices truck for a basic medical check with the Awabakal team, kick it with the Deadly Choices crew in the DC marquees.
The event is a great opportunity to learn about health, fitness and nutrition as well as pick up some Deadly Choices giveaways.
