The start of the 2012 footy season is just around the corner, which also means one of Fremantle’s proudest annual traditions - the Starlight Purple Haze Game - is upon us once again.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Starlight Purple Haze Game, which is proudly supported by Fremantle Ports, returns to round 1 when Freo face 2011 AFL Premiers Geelong on Saturday, 31 March at Patersons Stadium.

We are asking Freo fans to start hosting Purple Haze Parties across Perth in March to help raise much needed funds for the Starlight Children's Foundation.

All Purple Haze Parties that raise more than $300 for Starlight will go into the draw to win a VIP Corporate Box for six people, including $300 worth of catering at the 2012 Starlight Purple Haze Game.

This is sure to be one of the most eagerly anticipated fixtures of the season in Perth, and would certainly be a great one to enjoy with your mates from the comfort of a VIP Corporate Box - so get your purple party hats on!

For information on how to host a party you can visit: www.fremantlefc.com.au/starlightpurplehaze or email purplehazeparty@fremantlefc.com.au

The Starlight Children's Foundation, a principle charity partner of the Fremantle Dockers, works to brighten the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children, and their families, throughout Australia.

There are many ways for you to do your bit for the team.

Why not host a Purple Haze Party between now and round 1 at your home or office.

In addition to the major rize, all party hosts will go into the draw to win a framed Fremantle Dockers Purple Haze jumper signed by the 2012 ambassadors, Aaron Sandilands, Matt de Boer, Garrick Ibbotson, Chris Mayne and Alex Silvagni.

All schools that host a party are in the running to win a framed Starlight match Guernsey signed by the entire team. The school that raises the most funds for Starlight will receive a footy clinic at their school run by the Freo Dockers (Clinic for 100 students. Conditions apply).
