Charity Rugby Raffle: Help a Great Cause and Win Some Great Prizes

Today sees the launch of a huge online raffle aiming to raise money for the Tag Rugby Trust.

There are nearly 20 great prizes to be won, including signed memorabilia, rugby tickets, clothing and kit, generously donated by companies such as Puma, Gilbert, Kitbag and viagogo.

Organised through JustGiving, each raffle ticket costs just £2, and every penny of the funds raised will go to the charity, helping to improve the lives of under-privileged children all around the world.

There are so many prizes on offer that there will be three draws made, with the first taking place on April 1st – tickets will be valid for every draw after the date on which it was bought.

Every £2 donated will equate to one entry into the draws, and donors are invited to buy as many entries as they wish – the more they donate, the more chance they have of winning, and the more they will be helping the charity.

The plan is to make the Rugby Raffle an annual event, with the aim of growing the prize list and raising plenty of money for charity – please help to make the first year is a success, and then look out for another in 2011.

About the Tag Rugby Trust:

The Tag Rugby Trust is a rugby-based charity that was formed in 2002, which helps to improve the lives of children in some of the poorest regions of the world. We currently work with orphanages and government schools in India, Mexico, Zambia, Uganda and Kenya using the game of Tag Rugby as our vehicle. We fund our tours through volunteers who pay to join the adventure and who work closely with the children in a coaching capacity. Almost without exception our volunteers say that the tour is a life changing experience for them. 

We know that we make a difference to the lives, not only of the children we coach, but also the volunteers and friends of the Trust. We are passionate rugby people and we know the power it has to break down barriers and to create life long friendships. Above all, we believe that these positive experiences should be not only for the developed world but also for growing “rugby nations” who don’t currently have the resources or opportunity to introduce children to the game. We provide that opportunity.  For more information, please visit www.trdt.co.uk.
