STARS Dance for Cancer
In 2024, Panthers’ very own Karen Callaghan put on her dancing shoes for a great cause, taking part in STARS Dance for Cancer to raise funds for the Cancer Council. With flair, heart, and community spirit, Karen contributed $7,212 to an incredible $140,000 raised — showing that when Panthers staff step up, they do it with style and purpose!

Jeans for Genes Day
Panthers staff proudly take part in Jeans for Genes Day each year, raising funds to support vital research for childhood genetic diseases. By wearing denim and donating, our team helps drive awareness and make a meaningful impact in the lives of Aussie kids and their families. Together, the team raised $904.
Australian Red Cross Lifeblood
Panthers team members proudly rolled up their sleeves to donate blood with Red Cross Lifeblood in 2024, making a real difference in the lives of others. With each donation helping to save up to three lives, our incredible staff helped save 66 lives—all through the power of giving back. It’s just one of the many ways Panthers support the community, one drop at a time.
And now, we’re calling on Panthers fans and members to join the cause as we take on our rivals in the ultimate community showdown — the Lifeblood “Blood Feud” with the Eels! Launched earlier this month, the challenge is on to see which club’s fan base can make the biggest impact through blood donations before we meet again on Sunday, 13 July 2025. You can read more about the campaign here: Panthers and Eels Launch Battle of the West Lifeblood Challenge | Official website of the Penrith Panthers.
As part of the campaign, Lifeblood will be set up in the Penrith Leagues Club reception on Wednesday 11 June from 11am to 2pm. While they won’t be taking blood on the spot, they’ll be there to answer your questions, help register you, and get you booked in to donate at the Penrith Lifeblood Centre on York Road.
Want your donation to count for Panthers?
Just tell the team at the donation centre you’re a Panthers fan — and they’ll link your account to Team Panthers!
Let’s show the Eels what true community spirit looks like — every drop counts!
