A special group of North Queensland Toyota Cowboys friends enjoyed a night out at 1300SMILES Stadium for the home game against the Melbourne Storm on Saturday night.
Thanks to Cowboys Leagues Club and the Field of Dreams program, 30 support workers and customers of Cootharinga had a great time cheering on their team and spending some extra social time together.
“Cootharinga is celebrating its 65th year of supporting people living with disability in North Queensland and we're proud to give back to this fantastic organisation that gives so much to our community,” Cowboys general manager - community Fiona Pelling said.
"Thank you to the Cowboys Leagues Club for their generous support in providing tickets and enabling this fantastic experience."
