Fittler and other high-profile former players and personalities will be part of a two-week Hogs for the Homeless tour and again he will stop in the western area.
Blayney's King George Oval will be the last stop on this year's tour for the current NSW Origin coach.
The two-week tour, starting from February 8, will take in 13 schools and feature six free football clinics and the handing out of 2400 footballs.
It is the first Hogs for the Homeless tour, which is one of the main programs of the NSWRL Foundation, around regional NSW in two years after 2020 was disrupted by the summer bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fittler will be joined by Gus Worland who will deliver messages about mental fitness to high school children while Nathan Hindmarsh and Steve Menzies will be involved for a portion of the tour which will also include a training session with Sydney Roosters players James Tedesco and Angus Crichton, and Blues hopeful Victor Radley.
Fittler, who was a founding member of the annual cHogs For The Homeless charity ride, which began in 2013 and has raised more than $760,000 for Father Chris Riley's Youth off the Streets program.
"One of the things I love the most about my job as coach of the Blues is that it gives me the opportunity to connect with all our supporters from Bourke to Bankstown," Fittler said.
"The state had a pretty tough time last year because of the bushfires and coronavirus and I missed not being able to travel around as freely as I have in previous years."
February 18 is the date for the Blayney clinic, which will kick-off from 4.30pm at King George Oval.
