CORE Founding Members

A Founding Member of the CORE society is a person or organization that donates $1,000 or more to the CORE Endowment Fund. New founders are added to the list regularly.

Thanks to the kind contributions of these 40 individuals and organizations, there is more than $100,000 in the CORE Endowment Fund. This enables CORE to provide five $500 bursaries to graduating local rugby players every year, plus the $1,000 Courtney Walls Bursary.

The CORE Endowment Fund is established with the Canadian Rugby Foundation (CRF). The fund contributes 3.5% of the endowed funds towards the operations of Central Okanagan rugby – forever. The CRF provides a 25% ‘bump-up’ to all contributions. Charitable tax receipts are issued to CORE Endowment Fund contributors.
