Toronto, ON – Rugby Ontario and FlipGive have announced the launch of a new online fundraising program that provides its athletes with a fast, free and easy way to fundraise online.
Parents, coaches and players across Ontario can visit flipgive.com/rugbyontario to set up a free page, and shop hundreds of brands to raise money for their athletes. Every purchase will earn up to 50% cash back for Rugby Ontario clubs and athletes.
As part of this, Rugby Ontario will be raising money for Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities. Every time a club sets up a FlipGive page, FlipGive contributes $20 to Rugby Ontario. 100% of this money will then be donated to Jumpstart, in support of their programs, which provide kids from low-income families with the opportunity to experience the benefits of organized sports and physical activities.
“Rugby Ontario is proud to partner with FlipGive, providing an efficient medium for our clubs to raise money for their programs,” said Michael Brown, CEO, Rugby Ontario. “We are also excited to use FlipGive in order to contribute to our charitable partner, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities.”
“FlipGive is thrilled to partner with Rugby Ontario,” said Mark Bachman, founder & CEO, FlipGive. “This partnership supports our ongoing commitment to make it easier for athletes and youth sports teams to raise more money, so they can focus on playing the games they love.”
