Gold Coast Titans and Preston Campbell Foundation Announce Partnership

The Gold Coast Titans and the Preston Campbell Foundation have officially entered into a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), reinforcing their long-standing commitment to Indigenous youth development. The agreement, which remains in effect until June 30, 2027, solidify a relationship built over years of shared community initiatives.

Partnership Focus: The Deadly Futures Program

The cornerstone of this partnership is the Deadly Futures program. This initiative is designed to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students through a comprehensive framework that includes:

• Mentoring: Connecting students with trusted industry leaders and cultural mentors.
• Leadership Development: Cultivating the next generation of community leaders through targeted workshops.
• Education and Employment Pathways: Providing practical experiences and workplace exposure to help participants transition from school to higher education or the workforce.

The program’s success is measured by its long-term impact; the Titans and Preston Campbell Foundation continue to support participants well beyond the completion of the formal program as they navigate adult life and professional careers.

Preston Campbell’s Enduring Legacy

Preston Campbell OAM, the Titans’ first post-foundation signing and inaugural life member, remains central to the club’s identity. Since retiring from professional rugby league, Campbell has dedicated his post-playing career to the Preston Campbell Foundation , which he founded in 2015 to promote equal opportunity in health, education, and wellbeing.

“The Preston Campbell Foundation began from getting the chance to work with the community arm of the Titans after hanging up the boots.”

“It’s been a new journey for myself and something I never thought I’d connect so much to.

“It’s a real blessing to now give the same opportunities that I had to others,” Campbell said.

Community and Match-Day Support

Titans Chairman Dennis Watt emphasised that the MOU provides a platform to scale these efforts, noting that the foundation’s work is vital to developing Indigenous leaders.

To support this ongoing mission, the club utilised its recent Round 17 clash against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs as a vehicle for fundraising, featuring the Preston Campbell Foundation in the stadium’s 50-50 Charity Raffle.

This fundraising product splits the total prize pool evenly between one lucky ticket holder and the nominated charitable cause, directly contributing to the Preston Campbell Foundation ’s operational capabilities.
