Casey Spartans families,please come together to help one of our inaugural U19s player out, who played for Spartans 2019.
Please follow the link in the below post, would be much appreciated. We pray for you Anthony De Benidictis, Spartans are here for you. Thank you Croydon Rangers Gridiron Club for letting us know.
We need your help!
After an utterly dominant 2021 season, you may have noticed we’ve seen a less of one of our brothers around the club this year, Anthony De Benedictis.
Anthony has been taking up another battle, this time against Ewings Sarcoma which is a rare and aggressive bone / soft tissue cancer. Anthony has never been one to say too much, instead he’s just gone head first into beating this thing, taking it a day at a time, all the while focusing on his football return and preparing for his dreams to play in the United States.
We all know Anthony is a rare talent, and one of the kindest and caring people to put on a Rangers jersey. We are proud to call him a Ranger, and at this time he needs our help!
Anthony is currently undergoing chemo daily, and currently seeking to gain access to alternative treatments as well as potential treatment overseas which specifically target Ewings. Due to it’s rarity, research funding in Australia is limited, and treatment methods can have mixed results.
Please no matter how big or small - let's help Anthony fight this disease and help raise funds for his treatment. Anthony gives us his all on the field, and we’re going to give him our best off the field – and help give him the best chance to fight this aggressive cancer.
There is a fundraiser set up so you can directly help which you’ll find below:

Let’s go, you got this Big Tony!
