Summer Ball Raises $25k for Players Fund

The 2026 edition of the Crusaders Summer Ball was a massive success, thanks to the efforts of our organizing team. The ball raised $25,000 for the Crusaders Players Fund, a fund established in 2025 to provide financial assistance to those who need it to play rugby by offsetting fees, increasing the fund to just short of $70,000.

It was a wonderful gathering of alumni, parents, players and community with a live auction, a silent auction and dancing into the wee hours.

Thank you to MP Sima Acan, Mayor Rob Burton and Councillors Natalia Lishchyna and Tom Adams for supporting the event and your continued support of the club.
