The Australian Men’s and Women’s Water Polo teams will join the Australian sporting community to support various bushfire appeals, donating $100 for every goal scored during the upcoming test match series in Brisbane. 

The Australia vs USA three test match Series will be held at Brisbane Aquatic Centre next week, headlining the Australian Youth Water Polo Championships. 

Water Polo Australia (WPA) will support different charities and volunteer services for each test, with money raised from the first test to support State Volunteer Fire Services, test two supporting the Red Cross and the final test to support WWF. 

WPA Acting CEO, Richard McInnes, said the water polo community like the rest of Australia is feeling the impact of the bushfire crisis across the country. 

“So many Australians, including the sporting community, have rallied to support all those impacted by the bushfire crisis across our country.

“We wanted to show our appreciation for the great work of so many volunteer organisations and charities who are on the front line supporting our communities,” he said. 

$100 for each score by Australian teams during each test match game will go to the different charities identified for the respective test matches.
