UBCOB Ravens Launch Adopt-a-School Program
A great initiative by the UBCOB Ravens, if your club has a similar program send the media release to editor@bcrugbynews.com and we’ll share it as well.
The UBCOB Ravens are launching the Adopt-a-School program to revive rugby in Vancouver schools. Strong school programs are the foundation of our sport, yet they’ve been declining year after year. Without them, fewer kids pick up the ball, and the game we love continues to lose momentum.
This initiative isn’t just about growing rugby—it’s about securing the Ravens’ future. By getting more kids playing in schools and staying directly involved, we’re building a clear pathway for our club and ensuring it thrives for generations to come. A rising tide lifts all boats, and this effort will benefit players, schools, and clubs alike.
This isn’t just an idea—it’s already in motion. Three high schools (Lord Byng, Winston Churchill, and Van Tech) and nine elementary schools across Vancouver are on board. We have the coaches, players, and school partnerships ready to go.
Now, we need your financial support to keep it moving. Running these programs will require tens of thousands of dollars, and your contribution will directly fund coaches and provide essential equipment to sustain rugby in schools.
$2,000 – Supports a secondary school program
$1,000 – Supports an elementary school program
