The Dig Deep Day coin toss auction wrapped up on Friday, with the honours going to Sue Rutherford of Wembley, who bid an astonishing $1900 for the official duties.

Rutherford, who will hand the duties over to her lucky partner, Bill Gray, says she’s proud to play a small part in Dig Deep Day.

“It’s a terrific cause, Bill's really looking forward to meeting the captains and tossing the coin, we’re so happy to be a part of it.

“Everyone who can should contribute to the Dig Deep cause.

“Everyone will be affected by cancer at some point in their lives, either themselves or someone they know and love.

“Any donations will hopefully help find a cure and provide support to people who are fighting this illness every day,” she said.

Fans are reminded that the Dig Deep pins are on sale now at Caltex service stations, the West Coast Eagles Team Store and the Cancer Council WA shop in Subiaco for five dollars. They will also be available at the ground before and after the round 19 game.

The club’s Cancer Council Western Australia ambassador, vice-captain Beau Waters, is encouraging Eagles supporters and footy fans to buy the pins to wear at the Dig Deep Day match on Saturday .

The club will also be auctioning off a full team set of limited addition Dig Deep guernseys, including the ones worn on Saturday, to raise further funds for Cancer Council WA. Stay tuned to www.westcoasteagles.com.au for more details.

Now in its ninth year, the West Coast Eagles’ Dig Deep Day has continued to be a great success, with the 2012 campaign raising a massive $119,000 for cancer research. 

All the money raised from the Dig Deep campaign helps provide support for Western Australian cancer patients, including the Cancer Council’s Crawford and Milroy Lodges, which provide accommodation for country cancer patients who need to stay in Perth during their treatment.

Since it’s berth in 2005, the annual ‘Dig Deep Day’ campaign has been an amazing success, with over $800,000 going to those in need.

This is the fifth year Caltex have come on board to support the Dig Deep campaign, providing their stores at locations for fans to purchase Dig Deep fundraising items.

The West Coast Eagles Football Club would like to thank Caltex, its staff and its franchisees for supporting the Dig Deep campaign again for 2013.
