Call To Arms is Cancer Council’s annual national event to raise funds and awareness of cancer in men. Every day 171 men in Australia are diagnosed with cancer. The reality is, it could be your father, your brother, your husband, your son or your best mate.
Samford Rangers have accepted an invitation to participate by nominating the 25th of July to hold a Call To Arms Day at Harold Brown Park that will culminate with our senior and youth team players wearing a yellow armband in a show of support to men who have survived cancer, those currently facing the cancer fight and to remember mates who have lost their lives to cancer.
In keeping with the theme we will run fundraising activities on the day to collect donations for the Cancer Council. All funds raised through Call To Arms go towards helping to prevent cancers in men, finding new treatments and funding support programs for men in need.
We’re urging all members and friends of the club to get behind this event by either donating on the day at the canteen at Harold Brown Park or online through a secure website provided by the cancer council. To make an online donation click here.
An information booklet is available from here. Thank-you for your support.
At the recent Samford On Show in John Scott Park, we were challenged by the Samford Rugby League club in a best of 3 Tug-O-War challenge with the winner taking away a cheque for $300.
Our boys were well-coached by Ray Campbell who knew all the techniques from his army days but alas it was not to be with the Rangers going down 1-2 in a tight contest! Check-out the photos.
After a long wait our Polo shirts are now available for all members new to the club in 2009. To collect your free shirt, please go to the Sport Shop (inside the clubhouse) on Monday or Thursday between 6:00pm and 7:30pm.

A key input into this plan was the feedback received from you the members in the survey circulated at the start of the year. One in six (1 in 6) club members responded to the survey which is an excellent result for any organisation.
