Robb Chamberlin who is spearheading an effort said, “This will have three ways of benefiting the community. The first way is that the organizations that are benefiting will have the experience of attending a Jaguars home game. The second way is that the front office will sell more tickets to help ensure the future of professional football in the city of Jacksonville. The third way is that the numerous people who are generous enough to contribute can feel good about helping out others in their community and helping preserve the Jaguars in the city.”

The Axemen had reached out to the Jaguars for assistance in finding a venue to run part of their 2007 pre season training camp and the Jaguars donated the use of their turf practice field and their full support of the Rugby League effort in Jacksonville.  

Spinner Howland said, “At the start of the season the Jags gave us the use of their practice fields and that was huge due to the high profile we promoted to attract new players. We had a record turn out with 35 players turning up to the Stadium facility back at the start of the season.” 

The Axemen jumped at this opportunity and have already made a donation to the effort. Spinner went on to say, “It is hard for a small operation like us to find ways to help the Jaguars and say thanks for their support. This effort gave us the perfect opportunity to give back something to them and also help our community. With the limited budget we have to use you don’t often find things that are a simple “yes” when it comes to money, but his was a no-brainer.”
