The Super Rugby home match between the Rebels and ACT Brumbies was initially intended to be a fundraiser for Mission Australia’s youth services. However, in light of this week’s terrible disaster in New Zealand, funds will instead be directed to providing earthquake relief.
Fifty cents from every ticket sold will now go towards helping people in need in Christchurch. Rugby supporters are also encouraged to make a donation to the Mission Australia tin-rattlers who will be at AAMI Park collecting money for earthquake victims. You can find them outside the gates before the match and in the food concourse areas at half-time.
Friday night’s fundraising activities will officially launch the partnership between the RaboDirect Melbourne Rebels and Mission Australia. Throughout the year the team’s official Mission Australia ambassadors - Gareth Delve, Adam Byrnes, Tom Chamberlain, Luke Jones, Richard Kingi and Ged Robinson - will help raise funds and awareness for local youth services.
If you going to the game on Friday night, please give generously to Mission Australia’s volunteer tin-rattlers and support our cousins in New Zealand in their greatest time of need.
