**OUR 2025 KPCR POLO SHIRTS**
​
​
We did not receive any shirt designs for our competition this year. As a result, the KPC Rockhampton Committee has decided to create a polo shirt that honors various causes that have impacted family members, friends, and our community – Mental Health, Breast Cancer and Diabetes.
​
Our polo shirts are also dedicated to one of our local community members, Gavin Vea Vea. Gavin was the event and jersey presentation photographer for KPC Rocky and an avid supporter of community sports.
We have two of our junior teams from 2023 shown on the back of our polo.
​
Shirts are $45 (adults) and $40 (children) and are available in mens, ladies and kids sizes.
Mental Health (Green)
Services are funded by the federal, state, and territory governments, as well as the private sector. Services can be face-to-face, online, or by telephone.
