Rangers Juniors and Galaxy girls support kids charity ‘Challenge’ with ‘Beanie Fundraiser’



It may have been a typically cold and miserable winter’s evening on Thursday night, but the warmth and generosity of all those present was clearly in evidence as the Geelong Rangers Juniors Soccer Club helped raise more than $700 for a charity which supports kids with cancer.

According to a post on the club’s official Facebook page, it was truly a fantastic show of support from the Rangers Juniors and Coaches for the ‘Beanie Fundraiser’, which took place at the club’s Myers Reserve complex at the very top of Bell Post Hill.

“All juniors, from the MiniRoos to the under 15's, coaches, parents, committee and senior players were all encouraged to wear a colourful beanie to training and to bring along a gold coin donation.

“We are supporting Challenge - supporting kids with cancer. One of our families are currently receiving great care at the Royal Children's Hospital. This was a great opportunity for us as a football community to support them.

Ruby, Georgia and Olivia from Geelong Galaxy Girls’ Soccer Club, were also in attendance and braved the arctic conditions to collect donations throughout the evening.”

Speaking of the Galaxy, they recently held a similar fundraiser and managed to collect more than $300 for Challenge, bringing the grand total between the two clubs to just over $1000!

Well done to all those involved with this very worthy cause!
