The Trust Fund was set up to fulfil late Ottio’s dream of building a house for his mum.
Chairman of the PNGRFL, Sandis Tsaka said as of last Friday February 9, 2018, there was K20,225.24.
“Contributions ranging from K5 to K100 have been deposited into the account and we are more than grateful for your kind hearts and generosity.”

“The total amount will be disclosed and the cheque handed over to late Kato’s family during the half time break of the pre- season trial match between the SP Hunters and Brisbane Broncos on Saturday February 24, 2018.
He added that buckets will be placed at the gates for those wishing to donate on game day as they enter. “
