The Australian-first will see every winter sports code unite along the Mid-North Coast to campaign against domestic and family violence.
Players and fans will hold a period of silence ahead of games, and everyone is asked to put a temporary White Ribbon tattoo on the left side of their neck on Saturday or Sunday.
The idea is to challenge people to 'stick your neck out'.
Wauchope Thunder player Jake Taylor has played both codes of rugby and is impressed with his current club's focus on healthy attitudes towards women.
Mr Taylor said all sports lovers need to work together to eliminate domestic violence.
"A lot of clubs aren't just about sport," he said.
"It needs to be mostly about families and saying what is and isn't okay in our communities."
