Partnership proposal
VRC Rugby is the oldest rugby club in Vancouver and has played at Brockton Oval since 1908. Partners get their brand in front of our players, families and alumni.
Why partner with VRC
Brockton Oval is in Stanley Park, which millions of people visit every year, with the city skyline behind it. Touchline branding appears in match-day photos, and the clubhouse sits on the Coal Harbour waterfront.
Two men's teams, a women's team, Mini and Youth rugby, and an alumni network built up over more than a hundred years. They all use the same clubhouse on Coal Harbour, so one partnership reaches all of them.
VRC RCS is a registered charitable organisation. All partnership contributions go to the rugby section of the club, and donors get a charitable tax receipt for the full value.
About the club
Vancouver Rowing Club Rugby is the rugby section of the Vancouver Rowing Club, founded in 1886. The rugby section has played at Brockton Oval in Stanley Park since 1908. The men play in the BC Rugby Premiership and Division 1, the women in Division 2, and the club runs Minis and U16 at the same ground.
Former players include Rugby Canada captains and Major League Rugby players. The club is a registered charity, and donations go straight to the rugby section to pay for players, coaches and youth rugby.
What we're building
Our money goes on running the club, youth rugby, coaching and travel. Over the next three seasons, these are our priorities.
Keep the men's 1st XV in the BC Rugby Premiership. Competing at that level costs money for coaching, league fees, travel and pitch time.
Keep growing Minis and U16 at Brockton Oval under Chris Seyler, so more young players come through the club and into our senior teams.
Keep and develop experienced coaches for the men's, women's and youth teams. That means paying for Level 2 certifications, bringing in visiting coaches and supporting the volunteers who coach.
The clubhouse is where the club gets together after games and for tours, alumni events and season dinners. Partnerships help pay for all of it.
All partnership contributions go to the rugby section of the Vancouver Rowing Club. The money pays for coaching, kit, travel, youth rugby and the costs of putting men's and women's teams on the pitch every Saturday.
Partners get the three things listed below. The club plans to grow its annual budget from about $60,000 to $120,000 over the next three seasons, and partnerships are the biggest part of that.

VRC RCS is a registered charitable organisation. Donations from members, non-members, or corporations qualify for a charitable tax receipt.
Cheques should be made out to VRC RCS, not the Vancouver Rowing Club. Include the donor's mailing address with the cheque or accompanying paperwork so the tax receipt reaches the right place.
Send us a message using the form below. We'll arrange a call or a visit to the clubhouse and sort out the paperwork. We're happy to meet at Coal Harbour or at your office.
If you'd like to see the club first, come and watch a training session on Tuesday or Thursday at 6:30pm at Brockton Oval, or a Saturday game. See fixtures.
