Famous for being Red, White and Blue, the Western Bulldogs will soon add ‘black’ into the mix with $1.125 million wiped from the Club’s significant historical debt.

The impressive sum was raised at Saturday night’s exclusive Red, White & Blue Ribbon Event held at Whitten Oval’s state-of-the-art Mission Elite Learning Centre.

The evening united current and past Western Bulldogs players, greats and officials, plus 150 generous supporters. 

Guests had the opportunity to mingle with past Bulldogs champions, including Captains Charlie Sutton, Brad Johnson, Chris Grant, Scott Wynd, Steve Wallis who stirred up the nostalgia in the room as well as the entire coaching group and numerous current players. 

Western Bulldogs supporter and Hunters & Collectors’ front man Mark Seymour performed a set to the delight of guests to conclude the evening.

To honour the evening’s event, the team will wear a commemorative Red, White & Blue Ribbon Guernsey featuring the names of contributors, for the Round 13 match v Adelaide at Etihad Stadium on 17th June. 

All proceeds raised from tonight will go directly to Bulldoze the Debt, with the events entire cost generously picked up by Western Bulldogs Patron and Director, Dr Susan Alberti AO.

This event brings the Club closer to a debt-free future. 

Western Bulldogs supporters will have another opportunity to get involved at the Superstars of Whitten Oval - an event to Bulldoze the Debt on Saturday 18th June, with the chance to buy a lasting piece of Bulldogs history - a well-worn seat in the EJ Whitten Grandstand.
