The UNB Ironmen rugby tradition would not be sustainable without the generous financial support provided by you, the RFC alumni. This is truly a grass roots organization which counts on small donations from lots of former Ironmen to support the many initiatives listed below
“Rugby at UNB continues to thrive. The significant support that we receive from our Alumni has been and continues to be the cornerstone of our program.
Covid has presented challenges for the program over the last few seasons but as things get back to normal, recruiting athletes for 2023 is one of the top priorities for the coaching staff and alumni to help keep the program moving forward and healthy.
Please take a moment and consider making a gift to support UNB Ironmen Rugby. Your financial support will go towards a number of initiatives including:
- The Toks Akpata scholarship which funds an annual scholarship to the best club man in honor of Toks Akpata. This award has been issued for the past twelve years to a current player voted by the coaches.
- Increasing the amount of entry level scholarships to facilitate recruiting top level athletes around the country.
- By donating to the UNB Rugby Rec Fund – This fund supports travel when necessary for championship games and supports any necessary upgrades to college field infrastructure, training equipment etc.
- Financial awards have been donated to junior NB players to support travel to national tryout camps.
With your support we can continue to grow the UNB RFC program and make the club stronger. We have no shortage ideas and plans. Click Here to give to Ironmen Rugby now! Thank you for your continued support to UNB and Ironmen Rugby.
All the best,
UNB RFC Alumni Committee
