McMaster Women’s Rugby along with McMaster's W.A.L.C and Mac Athletes Care will be hosting events, raising money and awareness for women’s mental health, eating disorders, domestic violence, and breast cancer.
Your donations will go directly to one of 4 local organizations:
Body brave
Pynk
Interval House of Hamilton-Wentworth
CMHA Hamilton
This initiative is important as 1 in 3 women will drop out of their sport in their late teen years. It is important to celebrate how brave the women who continue in their sport as they face pushback from gender and societal norms. However, it is even more important to acknowledge the amount of women who are pushed out of their sport. Women and girls leave sports for many reasons, whether it’s mental health, body issues, eating disorders, domestic violence, sexual violence/abuse or grooming, physical health, breast cancer, and many more.
There will be plenty of ways for you to help out and show that you care. We will be hosting a karaoke event, and selling t-shirts, stickers, our women’s rugby team will be collecting donations in exchange for running/biking and many more. Stay tuned for more information!
Our hope with these events is to cultivate a safer and more supportive environment within the sport and inevitably keep women in the game.
