Support Waikato Rugby on its 100th Birthday!
We really enjoyed attending the Waikato Rugby Union Centenary celebration 'Journey through 100 years' last weekend at the Claudelands Event Centre.
At the dinner the Waikato Rugby Union officially launched the Waikato Community Rugby Fund to the rugby community, which is administered and invested by Momentum Waikato, with proceeds going directly to support amateur community rugby.
The pandemic has been challenging for sport and the Waikato Community Rugby Fund (WCRF) will help secure the WRU's future and continue to enable the grassroots game.
They need your support!
Please donate to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund by going to momentumwaikato.nz/wcrf via the button below.
