On first reading of the thread title, thought it was about the movie Rainman (Charlie Babbit) and not about our mascot Charlie Rabbit.

Charlie Gallico
South Sydney Juniors

Humble. Kind. Generous.
At nearly 80 years old, Charlie Gallico has dedicated more than 30 years to supporting his community. Charlie works as a South Sydney Juniors trainer, and the South Sydney Rabbitohs mascot – Reggie Rabbit.

Charlie's commitment to community services includes visiting sick children in hospitals, supporting Indigenous youth locally and in remote locations, and participating in community events organised by Souths Cares – the South Sydney Rabbitohs not-for-profit that supports disadvantaged youth and their families.

"Being an active member of my local community engages me with people of all ages," Charlie says. "I try to give the young people some life advice to help them better themselves. I attend schools dressed as the mascot and visit young children who are sick or terminally ill. It brings me a lot of pleasure to help young members of the community."

Charlie's strong work ethic and commitment to helping others began as a young man. As the child of immigrant parents, he began working at 14 to assist his parents financially and help them buy a home. The challenges he experienced throughout his life help him see the value in community connections and giving back to others.
