Greystanes FC was recently chosen to receive a life-saving defibrillator donated by The Marc Arcuri Foundation. We were presented with the new defibrillator, and a training session, on Monday evening 9th May.
The foundation was set up in 2014 in honour of 15-year-old Marc Arcuri, who tragically collapsed and died while playing football for Austral FC. The foundation has run two six-a-side football tournaments that have generated donations which have in turn been used to purchase defibrillators.
The first Marc Arcuri Cup held in 2014 attracted 12 teams and $6500 in donations. The second Marc Arcuri Cup held in October 2015 attracted 32 teams and $40,000 worth of donations. The foundations aim is to provide as many community clubs with this piece of lifesaving equipment as possible. They normally retail at more than $2500, but thanks to a partnership with Royal Life Saving NSW, they have been able to purchase the defibrillators at a discounted rate.
Greystanes FC very much appreciate being chosen to receive the defibrillator, and our thanks go out to The Marc Arcuri Foundation, Royal Life Saving NSW and Greystanes FC’s Alex Soyer for his effort in facilitating the 2015 Marc Arcuri Cup at Daniel St Park. When available we will provide details of the 2016 Marc Arcuri Cup.

Greystanes FC would like to build a new BBQ area and we are looking for a local business to sponsor this initiative.
The existing BBQ facility was built in the 1980’s and is in need of modernisation, repositioning and enlarging. Our BBQ area is well patronised and is an important part of our football community.
If you, or someone you know, can help OUR Club with building a new BBQ please contact Geoff (0466 639 414) Dave (0416 293 915) or Eamonn (0419 877 877).
