Last week the Geelong Football Club recognised three incredible organisations; genU, genU Adventure and All Aboard Disability Support, for their remarkable impact on the local community.
Representatives and volunteers from the organisation had the opportunity to attend Thursday's match against Brisbane, sitting in the GMHBA Community Bay.
The GMHBA Community Bay has been established to provide local community groups, families and individuals the opportunity to attend a Geelong Cats home game.
During Thursday's match, the organisations were also recognised at quarter time with an on-field introduction, along with a video explaining the fantastic work they do.
