Keywords:The Foundation is an outstanding welfare organisation, it provides vision and leadership to rugby in New Zealand in terms of injury prevention, player welfare and care of catastrophically injured players.
The foundation was formed in December 1986 by the late Kel Tremain and he was joined by Sir Russell Pettigrew in growing the base. Initially, the objectives were broad in terms of “supporting rugby in need.” 25 years later, this has become very focused on the area of injury in rugby.
The NZRU in partnership with ACC runs the RugbySmart programme, a world-leading injury prevention programme that helps coaches, referees and players identify safe and good techniques in a variety of situations to better prepare them on the field (for more information visit www.rugbysmart.co.nz).
The Foundation’s core business is;
1. Supporting catastrophically injured rugby players financially and emotionally through fund raising and other activities.
2. Fund raising activities/projects…
3. Working with the New Zealand Rugby Union to communicate the message of safety first |
