Barker-Whitten Challenge
This week the Saints and Bulldogs play for the Barker-Whitten Challenge Plate.  

Named in honour of St Kilda legend Trevor Barker, and Footscray/Western Bulldogs legend EJ Whitten, the Barker-Whitten Challenge Plate pays respect to these two outstanding individuals as well as the work of their respective Foundations: the Trevor Barker Foundation and the EJ Whitten Foundation.

In particular, The Trevor Barker Foundation continues to bring enormous benefits to hundreds of children living with cancer and their families, 16 years after Trevor’s passing.

Established in 1997 in memory of Barker, who died of cancer in 1996 aged 39, the Foundation is managed by Challenge, Victoria’s longest serving children’s cancer charity, which provides assistance and support for children living with cancer and their families, and is the iconic partner of the St Kilda Football Club.

Prior to this Sunday’s game, 12 children living with cancer from Challenge will form a guard of honour for the St Kilda players as a mark of respect to Trevor Barker.

The Barker-Whitten Challenge Plate has been played every year since 2000, with St Kilda winning eight of the 13 matches.
