Hawthorn Players meet Young Champions at Monash Children’s Hospital

This week, Hawthorn Football Club players Chad Wingard and Jai Newcombe took a break from the field to score smiles at Monash Children’s Hospital.  
 
Chad and Jai brought the spirit of the game to kids who are tackling their health challenges like true champions. They met with several dedicated young Hawks fans and their families, gifting them with Hawks merch and uplifting spirits on the ward.  
 
Thank you to the Hawthorn Football Club for visiting our patients and team members and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
