Mark Hughes Foundation launches 2026 beanies, marks 10th NRL round
Mark Hughes Foundation has put 2026 beanies on sale and said the 10th NRL Beanie for Brain Cancer Round will run during Round 17 from June 25 to 28. The campaign ties a new merchandise release to a set window for players, officials and fans to wear MHF beanies in support of brain cancer patients and their families.
Mark Hughes Foundation beanies
The foundation said beanies have helped raise vital funds for brain cancer research, patient support and care programs for 12 years. It is selling the 2026 beanies online through the MHF Shop and in stores at Lowes locations Australia-wide, participating IGA stores and selected Woolworths stores.
All donations of $2 or more are tax deductible, and Mark Hughes Foundation Limited ABN 17 622 847 376 is a registered charity with the ACNC and endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient Item 1. The foundation’s message for the campaign is: "Wear hope. Share hope. Together, we can beat brain cancer."
Round 17 June dates
This year marks the 10th NRL Beanie for Brain Cancer Round, with Round 17 scheduled from June 25 to 28. During that period, players, officials and fans will wear MHF beanies to support brain cancer patients and their families.
The foundation said brain cancer kills more children than any other disease and more adults under 40 than any other cancer. That sits alongside the campaign’s practical goal: sales from the beanies and donations linked to them are directed toward research, patient support and care programs.
Mark Hughes Foundation campaign
Mark Hughes is associated with the foundation and its beanie campaign. For readers deciding what to do now, the immediate options are simple: buy a beanie through the MHF Shop, look for one at Lowes, participating IGA stores or selected Woolworths stores, or wear one during Round 17 if they already have it.
The round’s 10th edition gives the campaign a clear milestone, but the more immediate point is the sale already underway. The beanies are the part readers can act on now, while the NRL window gives the campaign a date and a visible public moment in late June.
