Hear What Our Community Participants Say
"I love that Hawthorn is a family community that involves everyone, I feel very welcomed"
Ollie, AFL Blind Player
"The unique opportunity to try out the wheelchair and vison impairment glasses gave us a real insight into the challenges and skills required. It showcases what people with disabilities can do, normalises their participation, fosters inclusion and raises awareness of the challenges they face. Congratulations on such an awesome initiative, I hope it continues!"
Kelly, Parent of a child who participated in the Hawks For All Program
"The support and generous offers that the Hawks Community Foundation has offered us including game day tickets, tackle your feelings sessions, social media content and more, has been integral in our efforts to continually support our young people, their families and ours, with staff wellbeing being more vital than ever over the past two challenging years. We look forward to continuing to partner with and creatively improve our partnership with the Hawks Community Foundation over the coming years."
Brianne, Headspace Community Engagement Team
