CATS VISIT THE GEELONG HOSPITAL
3/5/2008
As the Cats continue their successful 2008 season, the stars are still making time to visit patients in the Geelong Hospital and Andrew Love Cancer Centre.

2007 Brownlow Medallist Jimmy Bartel, Cameron Ling, Brent Prismall, Trent West and Jeremy Laidler are just a few of the Cats players who have spent time in Barwon Health wards, making a special effort to visit the sick children in the Children’s Ward.

The visits are a great opportunity for Cats fans to meet the team, chat about the season’s progress and the fantastic grand final win as well as a chance to get a happy snap with their favourite players and an autograph.

The program is part of an ongoing relationship between the Geelong Football Club and the Barwon Health Foundation. In addition to the visits, the club also supports other fundraising activities for the Geelong Hospital Appeal including player appearances at events and tin shakes at home matches throughout the year.

Stay tuned for more photos of the Cats stars coming soon!
