Western Australian charities and community organisations have the chance to see their cause light up Optus Stadium, with applications now open for the 2027 Charity Lighting Up Program!

Each year, Optus Stadium illuminates its exterior in special colours to recognise important awareness days, campaigns and community causes. For 2027, up to 25 organisations will be selected to have the Stadium lit up in their nominated colours, helping raise awareness and shine a spotlight on the important work they do across WA.

Previous participants include Epilepsy WA, St Bart’s, the MND Association of WA, Rare Care Centre and Down Syndrome WA, with the Stadium lighting up to mark occasions such as Purple Day, Global MND Awareness Day and World Down Syndrome Day.

Applications are open to registered charities, not-for-profit organisations and recognised community groups with a cause or campaign relevant to Western Australians. Successful applicants will be allocated a lighting date in 2027, subject to availability and Stadium requirements.
