NRL players Kotoni Staggs and Braidon Burns were there as ambassadors.
The purpose of the day was to raise awareness and funds for Bowel Cancer Australia, something very close to Wellington's Justin Toomey-White who was diagnosed with the disease in 2018 at just 26.
June is bowel cancer awareness month that aims to raise more understanding of Australia's second deadliest cancer.
