Fremantle’s round 13 clash with Port Adelaide on Saturday 18 June will showcase the important work of the Fremantle Dockers Foundation and highlight a number of key organisations who have been assisted by the foundation.
The Fremantle Dockers Foundation was established to support the important on and off field work of the Fremantle Football Club. It aims to engage and support the community through strong alliances with key charity partners and a focus on the club’s corporate social responsibility.
To help secure the clubs future, volunteers will be selling limited edition foundation wristbands ($2) and pins ($5) in the stadium precinct. All proceeds will be donated to the Fremantle Dockers Foundation and deepen the club’s engagement in the community.
Match day information
The foundation is proud to support twelve community organisations in 2016 as ‘Friends of the Foundation’. This weekend the foundation will share with our members and supporters the important work of these aligned charity partners.
‘Friends of the Foundation’ activities
It is increasingly important for charities to develop new ways to raise awareness for the services they provide in the community and so Ability Centre (Gate 8), Esther Foundation (Gate 10), Manna (Gate 19) and Ngala (Gate 26) will have information booths set up at Domain Stadium.
A Constable Care Child Safety Stop will be located at the Market Square Purple Playground, and will act as a trusted reporting point for lost children if families become separated at the game.
Starkick all abilities football team will take part in a grid game at Purple Playground before the game. Starkick provides an opportunity for children with special needs and all ability levels to play AFL football.
Following the match, The Big Issue team will be selling magazines in the stadium precinct to celebrate 20 years of the publication that provides life-changing opportunities for homeless and disadvantaged Australians.
