St Kilda Football Club is proud to acknowledge the awarding of the 2025 Jack Titus Service Award to club Heritage Museum Coordinator and long-term volunteer and staff member, Georgie Day.
Named after the former Richmond great and long serving administrator and Hall of Fame Member Jack Titus, the award recognises outstanding service at club level and, outside of the Hall of Fame, is the highest honour the AFL can bestow on an administrator or volunteer in the industry.
The Award has been an annual occurrence since 1977, however Georgie is the first woman to receive the honour.
Georgie began her volunteer work with St Kilda nearly 45 years ago, assisting with gameday functions, raffle sales and caring for the players’ children in the club creche.
Georgie’s support of the playing groups across the years has also been undeniable. Club greats like Nathan Burke, Stewart Loewe and Nicky Winmar can all attest to Georgie’s willingness to support them and their families above the call of duty. Georgie also played a key role, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s, ensuring First Nations players felt welcome at the club, often billeting players and helping their families get settled in the Bayside community.
From the year 2000, Georgie began forming the club’s data base of memorabilia and records, including the storage of all key items. Since then, she has been pivotal in the club’s museum curation and up-keep, which continues to this day.
“Georgie is always the first to put up her hand to help with any club initiative, while always sporting our famous tri-colours,” St Kilda Chief Executive Officer Carl Dilena said.
“This award is the perfect reflection of not only Georgie’s contributions to our club, but a credit to her character.
“We congratulate Georgie on being this year’s Jack Titus Service Award winner and look forward to seeing this award proudly displayed alongside her other treasured memorabilia at the club.”
The Jack Titus Service Award will be officially presented at the AFL Season Launch in Sydney next month.
