The Geelong Football Club is proud to announce this week’s community hero is Daleene Kroger.
Daleene joined the Give Where You Live board over 10 years ago, serving as Director and Treasurer at times and is now Chairperson for the foundation.
Only the second female Chairperson in the Foundation’s history, Daleene leads the organisation in a significant period as they celebrate their 70th anniversary.
The Give Where You Live foundation was established to create a fairer community, working in partnership with the community to help all people and places thrive.
The foundation is committed to using all our energy and resources to create change in the community, to continue undertaking a range of change initiatives, actions and support, in addition to grant funding.
Daleene represents the many community heroes involved in the Foundation, from workplace givers to regular donors, corporate partners to volunteers.
The Dulux Community Bay at GMHBA stadium is a dedicated seating bay, which provides local heroes like Daleene the opportunity to experience a Geelong Cats home game.
The Cats have allocated 110 tickets at each home game, to help recognise the contributions of these local legeneds.
Daleene will be recognised at quarter time of the Cats clash with Hawthorn as the round 17 Dulux Community Hero, which will include a big screen slide and interview on match day.
