The KENNEDY COMMUNITY CENTRE: BUILDING A LEGACY, BrICK BY BRICK

Imagine a vibrant community hub where the spirit of Hawthorn Football Club (HFC) transcends the final siren. A place where aspiring athletes train, families gather, and the power of sport fosters inclusivity and well-being. With the construction of the Kennedy Community Centre, this vision is rapidly becoming a reality.

The Kennedy Community Centre represents the most significant and transformative initiative in the history of the Hawthorn Football Club. Designed as a beacon of excellence and inclusivity, this visionary project is not just about bricks and mortar; it is about creating a space that will benefit the Hawthorn family and the broader community for generations. Your support through donations will ensure the success of this once-in-a-lifetime endeavour.

Why Your Donation Matters

Donating to the Kennedy Community Centre is more than contributing to a construction project. It is an investment in the future of AFL, AFLW, and community engagement. Every donation directly supports the creation of state-of-the-art Hawthorn AFL facilities, inclusive spaces, and innovative programs designed to empower individuals and foster a sense of belonging.

From funding the development of cutting-edge training grounds for our AFL and AFLW teams to creating accessible community areas, your generosity has a tangible and lasting impact. This centre is more than just a building; it is the heart of a vision that unites sport and community, and your donation plays a pivotal role in turning this dream into reality. Donate to the Kennedy Community Centre today and leave a legacy of empowerment.

The Trees and Park Benches Campaign

Imagine having your or a loved one’s name etched into the Kennedy Community Centre landscape. The Trees and Park Benches campaign offers donors a unique opportunity to leave a personal and enduring mark. Contributions to this campaign help fund vital community spaces, and donors receive the distinction of having a tree or bench named in recognition of their generosity.

These contributions transform outdoor areas into tranquil, inspiring spaces for relaxation and connection, aligning with the centre’s mission to create inclusive, multi-purpose facilities. Participating in this initiative, you help foster a sense of belonging for all who visit while securing a piece of history for yourself or your family.

Through the Trees and Park Benches campaign, you can secure naming rights for designated trees and park benches within the complex. This unique opportunity allows you to leave a permanent mark on this landmark project, fostering a sense of pride and connection for generations to come. Donate to our cause today.

AFLW Pavilion: Supporting Women in Sport

As part of the Kennedy Community Centre, the AFLW Pavilion is dedicated to empowering women in sports. Your donations contribute to a world-class facility where our AFLW players can train, compete, and thrive. The pavilion is more than a training space; it symbolises progress and equity in sport, ensuring our female athletes have access to the same exceptional resources as their male counterparts.

Additionally, the AFLW Pavilion offers exclusive naming opportunities, allowing donors to celebrate their commitment to supporting women in sports. Contributions to this initiative directly enhance the infrastructure and resources available to our AFLW team, positioning them for continued success on and off the field. Discover how you can be part of this transformative journey by visiting the AFLW Pavilion donation page.
