Your year
As an Old Maroon you can contribute dollars and cents that relate to the year you started playing for the Club. For example, if you started playing in 1993 your donation is $19.93; this can be paid weekly, fortnightly or monthly. This option allows you to contribute at different levels as you move through your career — for example:- Leaving University and starting your career = consider monthly contributions
- In the middle of your career = consider weekly contributions
- Retirement = consider monthly contributions
This would be set up as automatic bank payments. The Charitable status means that donors can claim up to 33 cents in the dollar annually.

MAROON FOUNDATION SOCIAL INITIATIVE
Pacific Hygiene has set up a Social Initiative to provide support for organisations such as The Maroon Foundation. The initiative is called CHeW, standing for ‘Cleaning, Hygiene & Washroom’.
Supplies can be purchased directly from CHeW for your home or organisation with a percentage going to The Maroon Foundation. This would also help UC Rugby.
