ALL FOR ONE

From its first VFL game in 1925, Hawthorn Football Club struggled to make its mark until The Club’s first premiership in 1961. Since that first glory, the Hawks have added another ten magnificent cups to the trophy cabinet over the next

five decades.

The Club enjoyed a golden era between 1971 and 1991 where it won eight flags, however this success did not equate to long term security and by

1996 Hawthorn was at the point of merger.

Hawthorn Football Club invites you to join the Bequest Club, an integral program within the Foundation, to help ensure the Club never reaches that point of

uncertainty again, instead remaining strong and viable for generations to come.

By leaving a bequest to the Club in your Will, you will help Hawthorn remain strong well into the future, providing for your children and grandchildren the

same sense of joy and passion you have enjoyed over the years.

By leaving your legacy in support of the Club, you will become a member of a very special group known as Always Hawthorn. You just have to inform us

you have done this to become a member.

PEACE OF MINDIt is fact that nearly one in two Australians do not have a valid Will. A Will is a way to show you care about family members and friends you love, and who have been important to you.

Making a Will can give you peace of mind, knowing your special wishes for loved ones have been made clear and that you’ve made provision for them.

A legal Will can also avoid confusion that may arise from time to time. Things such as favourite items and family mementos can be bequeathed through special notes contained in your Will.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOUShould you decide to join Always Hawthorn, your bequest will receive the respect it deserves.

It will be invested into a fund that is managed by the Hawthorn Football Club Foundation which is governed by an independent Board of Directors. The main goal of the Foundation, is to provide Hawthorn Football Club with access to income and capital for specific projects which could not otherwise be funded from normal trading profits and reserves.

It is also set up to ensure Hawthorn remains financially viable for the long term and has capital resources to achieve both on and off field success.

Your bequest will assist Hawthorn to become the Destination Club by retaining and developing the very best players and staff, on and off the field.

The proceeds will also fund any capital projects, ensuring Hawthorn’s home base is established as a world class administration and training facility, set up to deliver premiership success.

Your legacy, will remain an everlasting one at the Hawks.
