The 2022 Rugby Lunch proudly sponsored by Wynn Williams

May 30, 2022

​We are counting down to the 2022 Rugby Lunch proudly sponsored by Wynn Williams. This year 550 guests will be joining our students and rugby VIPs on Thursday 30 June at Cordis Hotel, Auckland, for an afternoon of fun, rugby, and doing good for the Trust’s Student Hardship Fund and ongoing activities.

The Rugby Lunch is our only fundraising event to support our students and we are looking forward to having you and your fellow industry colleagues come along and take part in the live and silent auction in support of the Student Hardship Fund.

Over the past two years, Covid has hit our students and their families hard, and they are still feeling the effects as the ongoing strain continues to impact their lives and their studies.

With your help we can reduce that stress and enable them to fulfil their dreams to become the future leaders of our industry.

Last year we raised $145,000 – the most we have ever raised – and we hope to at the very least meet and possibly even raise more this year!

Put these event details in your diary now:
Date:                   Thursday 30 June
Location:            Cordis Hotel Auckland
Time:                   12 noon to 4.00pm
Dress Code:        Business attire

Jenny-May Clarkson, TVNZ Breakfast presenter, will be our MC for the afternoon, and we are delighted to be joined by rugby greats– Fiao’o Fa’amausili, former Black Ferns captain (2012 – 2018) and current President, Auckland Rugby Union; John Hart ONZM, past All Black selector and coach; and Isa Nacewa, former Blues and Leinster, Ireland, player.
