To honour the important round, and importantly the 165 past and current players who served in the military, the club’s not-for-profit arm launched ‘Power to Thrive’, a new program in 2024 to support Australian Defence Force (ADF) families, designed to run in parallel with its already established ADF Veterans program.
To further support this important work, the club also launched a limited-edition hat, with $10 from each hat sold donated to PCL’s ADF Veterans program.
The design was inspired by Port Adelaide AFLW player, Maria Moloney, who balances her professional sporting career at Port Adelaide with serving her country with the Royal Australian Air Force. The limited-edition cap sold out online within an hour of launching.
The Anzac Appeal badge featured on both the front and back of Port Adelaide’s traditional home guernsey.
The player-issued guernseys will be auctioned off after the game, with 100 per cent of the proceeds going back into PCL’s ADF Veterans program, and RSL South Australia.
