The Towners will host the fifth annual Lachie's Legacy round against Learmonth at Dunnstown.
Lachie's Legacy was formed by his family in memory of the 25-year-old, who died after collapsing during a Dunnstown and Learmonth reserves match in 2018.
The movement's aims include helping meet the needs of children in communities where they do not always have access to football equipment and apparel, or programs which promote the development of the game at an individual or team level.
