That's a wrap on our Bombers 2026 Push Up Challenge!

Thank you to everyone who donated, we were able to raise a massive $1016 for Lifeline Shops Newcastle and Hunter

This year the Bombers are stepping up for something bigger than football!

We’re currently taking part in The Push-Up Challenge supporting mental health across Australia.

We're halfway into the challenge and we have already smashed out 10,444 push-ups and raised $831 towards our $2,000 goal!

Every push-up represents those doing it tough, and every dollar goes directly to the Newcastle & Hunter Region Lifeline Program, helping provide support to people in need when it’s needed most.

If you’d like to support the team, you can donate or even join us in the challenge using the link below
