GYMNASIUM DONOR PROGRAM

Our New Gym
Work on the extensions to the Rugby facility that will provide for a player’s gymnasium has now been completed.  While the building project will provide around 400m2 of covered space both internal and external there is a need to ensure that we have the appropriate equipment in the facility.

Equipment
We have received excellent support to raise the money for construction, however we need to raise approximately $100,000 to outfit the gym with equipment.  The gym will be outfitted for Rugby and will have a focus on strength as opposed to the cross training emphasis of many commercial gyms.

Donor Program & Honour Board
One of a number of strategies which we will be undertaking is a donor program.  Individuals, families, groups and businesses will be able to make donations at Gold ($500), Silver ($250) and Bronze ($100) level.  Donors who contribute $100 or more will have their donations recognised on an honour board which will be mounted for display in the facility, as well as on our website.

Tax Deductible Donations
To make your donation, please contact the Rugby Office on 3246 2500 for more information.

This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your support of Sunnybank Rugby and have your generosity acknowledged for the life of this exciting facility development.
