Hamilton Kangaroos will host a Pride and Inclusion game against South Warrnambool on June 17, with the day set to also feature a VFL women’s match between last year’s grand finalists Melbourne University and Darebin Falcons, as well as a luncheon with a guest panel.
Annie Nolan, of ‘Uncanny Annie’ fame, and Fox Sports’ Tegan Higginbotham will co-host the luncheon, with triple premiership Hawk Russell Greene and his daughter Angie Greene – who accepted an ARIA award on behalf of Sia – among the panelists.
“(We want to) shine a light on some of the mental health issues and some of the support groups that are just getting up and going … bringing a bit of awareness about what the Hamilton area is doing,” co-organiser Charles Beaton said.
Tickets for the lunch are available through the club.
