FAQs
Can you arrange for players to attend a Club, School, Charity, Community or Fundraising event?
We receive many requests for players to donate their time, all for very worthy causes. We would love to support them all, however the nature of our business does not allow us to do so.
Our players promotional activities are very carefully managed and are scheduled prior to the commencement of the campaign. Our first priority is to our six Gold charities, St John, Burwood Spinal Unit, Child Cancer, Cystic Fibrosis, The Rugby Foundation and the Christchurch City Mission and secondly the players have contractual obligations to our sponsors and thirdly our commitments to clubs and schools.
Although requests can be considered we have to carefully manage player time to ensure it stays within the limits set by the NZRU Players Collective and within their training schedules as well has allowing for time to prepare adequately for game day. Please submit your request via our Contact page - for consideration you must include all details of the event including where, when and why.
