The Geelong Cats have got two projects ‘Healthy Food, Healthy Mood’ and ‘Tackling Online Bullying in Secondary Schools’ that have got to the community voting stage of the State Government grant initiative, ‘Pick My Project’.
If the club receives enough votes, the programs will enable children and adolescents in the Geelong region to receive evidence-based programs from the Geelong Cats encouraging health and general wellbeing.
