The Canadian Rugby Foundation will be participating in Aeroplan’s Charitable Pooling Program during the month of June 2011.

Following the success of Rugby Canada’s Aeroplan campaign in December 2010, the Foundation will collect miles to help raise endowment funds for the development of youth rugby and to assist the National U20 Program. Matthuw Ronald-Jones, Executive Director of the Canadian Rugby Foundation, is excited to participate in this campaign and has set a goal of 1,000,000 miles for this year. “The common challenge of any charitable organization is to keep our costs to a minimum so that we can provide greater support to the programs that make an impact to youth rugby in Canada. All donated Aeroplan miles will make a difference and help the Canadian Rugby Foundation “Invest in the Future of Canadian Rugby”.

Your Aeroplan miles can be donated to the Canadian Rugby Foundation starting on June 1st through June 30th on a pledge form available at http://supportrugby.ca/aeroplan. All forms must contain the Aeroplan Miles holder’s original signature. No email requests can be accepted without a completed scanned form attached.

Pledge forms can be faxed to 250-380-6355 or mailed to: Matthuw Ronald-Jones Canadian Rugby Foundation PO Box 8003 Victoria, BC V8W 3R7 For more information or to request a pledge form by email, contact Matthuw Ronald-Jones at mrj@canadianrugbyfoundation.ca or call 250-386-5350.
