Australia’s leading poultry brand Steggles has announced that applications are now open to all Australian children’s charities to become the 2015 Steggles Roosters Charity Nest ‘Charity of Choice’.

The chosen charity will join Lifestart, Children’s Hospital Foundation and the Children’s Cancer Institute in receiving an equal share of funds raised next year for the Charity Nest, an initiative from Steggles and NRL team the Sydney Roosters.

Steggles Brand Manager, Laurel Brown said: “Following another incredible season by the Sydney Roosters and the dedication of our staff, the Steggles Roosters Charity Nest raised more than $400,000 in 2014, which was shared between our Charity Nest. We only hope we can raise this and more in 2015.”

Since February 2010, the Steggles Roosters Charity Nest has raised more than $1.8 million for Australian children’s charities. Funds are donated to the Charity Nest for every winning point scored by the Roosters throughout the NRL season. In addition, Steggles and the Roosters conduct various fundraising initiatives throughout the year.
