Workington Town will take all the gate receipts from their clash with Leigh Leopards on Friday.
Leigh owner Derek Beaumont said his club would not be taking its usual share of gate receipts to help give Workington a boost.
The Challenge Cup tie takes place from 7.30pm on Friday, February 7.
Town qualified for the third round due to their 56-0 victory over The Royal Navy in Portsmouth.
Leigh’s last visit to Derwent Park in a Challenge Cup tie was in 1994, and resulted in a record 94-4 defeat for the club.
Beaumont said: “I urge as many of our supporters as possible to travel to Workington to ‘Be the Roar’ and be the 18th man.
“It’s our first competitive game of the season and it will be exciting to get our Challenge Cup campaign underway.
“When the RFL brought in the new format for the cup this year with an earlier entry for the Super League clubs being drawn against a lower tier club away from home I assumed that all Championship, League One and community clubs would benefit from the gate receipts.
“Therefore, the club will not be taking the usual share of the gate receipts after expenses. This is therefore a great opportunity to support Workington Town. We spent many of our years in the Championship.
“We hope that as many Cumbrian supporters of our great game turn out in force and take this opportunity to watch their team take on a Super League club which will see some of our new recruits make their debut and that as a result Workington benefits accordingly.
“I would also like to thank Workington for agreeing to stage this game on the Friday to give us the longest possible preparation time for our opening Super League game at Wigan Warriors the following Thursday which is greatly appreciated.”
Fan Zone damaged in Storm Eowyn

Workington Town supporters and volunteers were devastated when they saw the havoc wrought on the Fan Zone marquee at the Fibrus Community Stadium by Storm Éowyn.
Record-breaking winds tore across the North last Friday, and one of the casualties was the venue at the Town ground.
The canvas has been torn off in places, with some damage to the uprights and beam connectors.
Workington firm Stobbarts has stepped in to repair and re-erect the structure.

Director Ricky Fee said that the company would donate as much resource possible to help with the repairs.
Representatives from Stobbarts surveyed the aftermath of the storm on Wednesday and will be working with the club to restore it to its former glory as soon as possible, it said.
“Hopefully we will get it back to how it was with some welcome assistance from Stobbarts,” a club spokesman added.
