Cardiff University Men’s Rugby Club Tackles Men’s Health Issues with Movember Fundraising Campaign
Cardiff University Men’s Rugby Club (CUMRC) is proud to announce their ambitious campaign to raise funds and awareness for the Movember Foundation, the leading global charity addressing men’s health. Throughout November, team members will participate in fundraising activities, encouraging the community to support this essential cause.
Movember is renowned for its focus on three key areas affecting men: mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. By raising awareness and funds, our rugby club aims to contribute to the charity’s groundbreaking projects that save and improve lives.
Cardiff University Head of Rugby shared, “This campaign means a lot to us. We know how important it is to break the stigma surrounding men’s health issues. As a team, we’re dedicated to raising awareness while uniting our community around a shared goal.”
Fundraising Initiatives.
We are on the charge to match their record breaking year last year. The boys are doing all sorts, climbing the student union steps until they reach the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro, scootering to Bristol to conquering the 3 Peaks. We are also hopefully hosting the 3rd Annual Cardiff University Rugby Club MoBall – which has become the biggest Sport event on campus. It is the embodiment of the Movember spirit – doing good, and having fun!
As a Mens’ club, we have an acute awareness of the problems facing young men. This year, we are focusing our awareness efforts on mental health and suicide prevention.
As we always say at the club, “don’t be tight – donate a pint!” £3.50, or the cost of a pint in Cardiff, can and will save a Bro.
Charity Secretary Sam Sommers commented, “We wanted to create a campaign that goes beyond the rugby pitch. The activities we’ve lined up are designed to bring people together, spark conversations, and most importantly, raise money for a great cause.”
How to Support
The club has set up a Movember fundraising page where supporters can make donations and track the team’s progress throughout the month. The goal is to raise £30,000, which will contribute to vital research and support services funded by the Movember Foundation.
