Match Partners:
Toyo Tires embody the challenger spirit and wish to bestow a drive to perform upon the GIANTS as Match Day Partner in this historic clash against the Sydney Swans. Both sides will be heavily supported in what is sure to be a sold-out Spotless Stadium, but the team at Toyo Tires will be barracking for the GIANTS to overcome the odds on their home turf and make a strong statement on who are the superior Sydney side,
The meeting of these two teams will also highlight a mutual condemnation of men’s violence against women through White Ribbon, a worthy cause that Toyo Tires are honoured to support without bias by donating $250 for every goal scored in Sydney Derby X.
The GIANTS and Swans again play for the White Ribbon Cup, in support of Australia’s only national, male led campaign to end violence against women. The GIANTS have been a strong supporter of White Ribbon since the club’s inception and they are a premium community partner of the club.
The player judged best on ground will receive the Brett Kirk Medal. The Swans currently hold the White Ribbon Cup after a 25-point victory in round three at the SCG. Swans midfielder Luke Parker is the reigning Brett Kirk Medallist.
Patrons can nominate to donate $2 to White Ribbon when purchasing their tickets online, all donators will receive a pin. The GIANTS also encourage everyone in the Stadium to take the White Ribbon Oath at quarter time.
