While Group 19 officially celebrated Indigenous Round last week, with the Boars not able to play their under-18s game due to the Rams pulling out of that competition, they moved their celebrations to this weekend to ensure they got three games in.
The Boars will wear special jerseys and shorts designed by league tag coach Lena Smith, with the players given the opportunity to buy their own kits.
"The players have got in and sold raffle tickets to pay for their own kit, jumpers shorts and socks," Moree Boars president Todd Mitchell said.

The players will continue to sell the raffle tickets all week and the winners will be drawn at half time of the A-grade game.
"The girls have got in, doing cupcakes for the canteen which will be in the same colours as the jumpers so they're getting right behind it," Mitchell said.
"We'll do a few things on the day to acknowledge the round."
The on-field action will kick off at 12pm with the ladies league tag.
After losing their opening two games, the Boars have won eight straight and with their win over Armidale last weekend they have jumped into first position.
Under-18s will follow at 1pm, where the Boars also sit in first place, however the Magpies took home the two points in a shortened game the last time they met.
The day will finish with an important A-grade clash kicking off at 2.30pm, with the Boars coming off a dominant 56-10 victory over the Rams last weekend.
It's set to be a tough test against the top of the table Magpies, but the Boars will enter this clash with confidence after only being defeated by eight points the last time the two sides faced off back in round nine.
