Hawthorn will host its 2025 Inclusion Match on Saturday afternoon when it faces Melbourne at the MCG.
The Round 23 game has been made possible by Variety - the Children's Charity, with Variety also set to support Hawthorn's Inclusion Match for the next three years.
Earlier this year, the Hawks and Variety joined forces to promote inclusion in the AFL, ensuring everyone has a safe and supportive space to enjoy the footy.
As part of the match, a host of junior mascots will run through this weekend's banner alongside their Hawthorn heroes.
Off the field, the MCG's first-class game-day sensory space will be open, run in conjunction with Hawthorn's highly successful 'The Inclusion Project' banner.
The space will be available at the Australian Sports Museum, which is located just inside Gate 3 in the Olympic Stand.
For those who need it, an accessible entrance will also be available at Gate 3B.
In addition to the game-day offerings, Hawthorn's AFL players will wear red Variety socks at a training session this week to recognise the special round.
