37 Army Cadet Unit -Albury- Wodonga

18/10/2026

Wow, so very proud of this unit.

When we step together, we make strides.

Cancer impacts so many of us. Our team took on Relay For Life to raise vital funds for people impacted by cancer.

37ACU raised over $18,000.00 for our Region.👀
Our biggest total ever raised, our largest team ever, supporting a successful event.
As an Event we raised over $150,000.00.

In Australia, around 134,000 people are diagnosed with cancer every year. They could be our loved ones, our colleagues, or even ourselves. But we’re determined to make sure more people (and their families!) get the support they need.

We took on the laps so Cancer Council can offer support services to families through one of the most difficult times of their lives.

Thanks staff and cadets from both 37ACU and the Corryong detachment. Also thankyou to our parental helpers and specifically Rowena Murray for her hard work and cutting her hair for a cure. Amazing.

Great job arranging this activity 2LT(AAC)M.Galvin.

Special mention to the following amazing fundraising efforts - Eliza Doughty ($2,563), Casey Murray ($2,458), Amy Schmidt ($2,110).

The cadets and staff helped setup, assist the amazing committee, help where required, manage the waste, won the fitness award, 2nd in Ms Relay, ran an obstacle course, did Zumba, completed so many laps, and packed up the event. A very tired bunch 💤

United, we are stronger than cancer.

Thank you team.
