The much-anticipated State of Origin clash between Victoria and the All Stars is named in honour of football legend E.J Whitten, who passed away from prostate cancer 30 years ago.

The event aims to raise much needed awareness and funds for prostate cancer through the Australian Prostate Centre, a world-class prostate cancer hub that brings together the best in care, treatments and collaborative research for Australian men and their families.
