The Kimbe Cutters rugby league team have launched an appeal to assist the volcano victims in Papua New Guinea's West New Britain.
Thousands of people have been displaced by the eruption of Mt Ulawun, while about 100 people have been evacuated from Manam Island in Madang.
The Kimbe Cutters franchise are based in West New Britain's provincial capital and are competing in their debut Digicel Cup campaign.
Team chairman Dominic Kaumu told Vinnie Wylie the eruption has greatly affected their community and they wanted to do something to help.
