BUILDING OUR FUTURE with Canadian Rugby Foundation (CRF)
” Be a part of the future of the club. We want to have the ability to fund our programs in the future as we move out to the Westshore. Our “business” model will be changing as we will no longer have significant revenues from a clubhouse and we need your help. By building an endowment with Canadian Rugby Foundation we will ensure our success for the long term. Donations are fully tax deductible and matched within the Canadian Rugby Foundation 1 dollar for every 4 donated. If we can get 40 donors at 25 dollars each we will be able to build our fund quickly and allow it to generate the income to develop all of our rugby programs. Please participate. ” ~ Former Westshore Velox RFC President; Mark Wyatt.
