Ice Bucket Challenge! Fundraising for Fight MND
2022-06-09 17:00 - 20:00 | Rofe Park
Hi HBE Community
The Club is going on a fund raising adventure to support the cause close to the AFL’s heart – Fight MND and the Big Freeze. This year we have our Club President Steve Wall committing to an Ice Bucket Challenge at training on 9 June 2022 at Rofe Park. The ceremonial “dunking” will be followed by a sausage sizzle dinner for players and their families.
The Club wants to raise $500 in donations for the research into this disease and seeks to challenge each team to raise $100 for your coach to also “dunked” on the night – come on coaches, who’s up for it!
Below is the Club’s link to the Fight MND fund raising page and for those interested please see the YouTube clip which explains further the Fight MND foundation and AFL legend Neale Daniher’s fight against MND. https://hub.fightmnd.org.au/diy-big-freeze-8/hornsby-berowra-eagles-jaflhttps://youtu.be/JXvFwbTrhC8The Club will also be selling Sockit2MND Footy Socks on the night for $15 a pair. The link below shows how cool they are.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sEu_RsRVuMPlease get behind the Club’s initiative in helping to support the fight against MND and save the date of 9 June. We’d love to see you there and cheer on Steve!With thanksHBE Committee

Club AGM 2022
2022-10-12 19:30 - 20:30 | Zoom/Online
The current club committee would like to invite you to attend the upcoming club AGM.

It will be held online via zoom on Wed 12 October at 7:30pm. Mark it in your diary now!

We are hoping as many people as possible from the club can attend. At the AGM we will look to fill club committee roles ahead of the 2023 season. Anyone interested in getting further involved in the club or contemplating assisting with a role at the club, we would welcome your attendance. That said, please don’t feel any pressure to put your hand up for a role if you attend. This is YOUR CLUB, and as such we welcome everyone to attend so that you know what is happening at the club, even if you aren’t looking to volunteer for a role.

See the image and link below for details.

If you have any questions or want to know how you can help or what positions might need to be filled, feel free to contact any of the current club committee members.

There are lots of exciting things going on in the background at the club at the moment and some amazing people on the current committee. Anyone wanting to volunteer to help in anyway at the club, is bound to get far more out of it than what they put in. Why wouldn’t you want to get involved in the best junior AFL club in Sydney?!
