Rugby League raises over $500 for the USO

The USO is the official charity of the Jacksonville Axemen and the Axe Maiden Cheerleaders often make appearances at the many USO events on the first coast. Due to this partnership the USO partnered with the most recent event in an effort to help expose it to the many military personnel who live and work in Jacksonville.

The partnership saw the USO offer discounted tickets at their area offices from which one dollar from each ticket sold was donated to them. There was also a $1 half time raffle held at the November 14 game from which 50% of all proceeds are being donated to the USO. The total amount raised was $514.

The AMNRL, JRLA and the Jacksonville Axemen would like to sincerely thank the amazing list of sponsors who donated a prize that made the raffle such a huge success.
