THE CALIFORNIA GRIZZLIES ANNUAL FUND

More Players.
More Opportunity.

Help players develop, belong and take their next step in rugby.

Your gift supports the year-round work behind the Grizzlies: coaching, places to train and access to the game.

WHAT YOUR GIFT SUPPORTS

Three Priorities. One Grizzlies Community.

01

Open the Door.

Help reduce barriers to non-tour programs through needs-based fee assistance and essential training equipment.

02

Develop the Player.

Support coaching, coach education, assessments and the resources that help players improve.

03

Make It Possible.

Help provide fields, equipment, player welfare, safety and the essential operations behind every session.

Annual Fund gifts support the program budget across these priorities. Tour travel and accommodation are funded separately.
