Hi, My name is Chaz Iloka.

I've been given an incredible opportunity - to represent our country on the international stage as part of the Outback team at the IFAF U20 World Championships in Canada this June. It's a chance of a lifetime and a dream come true for me.

From the first moment I put on a helmet & pads at the Eagles Gridiron Club my life changed. The more I played the more I fell in love with the game. It was about the camaraderie forged on the field, the bonds of friendship that grew stronger with each passing play. It was about the lessons learned - perseverance, teamwork, and the unyielding spirit of competition. Gridiron wasn't just a game; it was a passion, a way of life. And with the Eagles Gridiron Club by my side, I was ready to soar to new heights, one play at a time. The gridiron became more than just a field of play - it became my home, my sanctuary, and the place where dreams take flight.

This journey to Canada is more than just a personal achievement; it's a testament to my hard work, dedication, and passion for the game I love. It's a testament to the support of my Mum, my coaches, my team and my club who have stood by me every step of the way. Now, as we prepare to take on the world's best, I need your help. Traveling to Canada and competing in a tournament of this magnitude comes with significant expenses. Whilst my passion for the sport is unwavering, the financial burden can be overwhelming. That's why I'm reaching out to you; my friends, family and supporters, to ask for your assistance in making this journey possible. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a difference. It will help cover the costs of the journey ahead and ensures that I can focus solely on representing our country with pride and excellence. By supporting me, you're not just investing in a player; you're investing in the future of American football in Australia. You're helping to inspire the next generation of athletes to dream big, work hard, and never give up on their goals.

Join me on this incredible journey as I proudly wear the green and gold and compete on the world stage. Your generosity will not only make my dreams a reality but will also be a testament to the power of community and the unbreakable spirit of Australians.

Thank you for your support, belief, and encouragement.

Together, we can achieve greatness.

Go Outback!
