Penrith Emus Players Fund – Give Every Player a Fair Go At Penrith Emus Rugby Club, we believe rugby is for everyone—regardless of background or financial situation. That’s why we’ve launched the Players Fund—a dedicated campaign to support players facing difficulties paying player subscriptions up front. Why We&#39;re Raising These FundsEvery year, some of our players face real financial barriers to paying their club subscriptions or covering representative and development pathway expenses. As a grassroots club, we want to ensure that no player has to miss out on playing the sport they love—or give up a shot to achieve their potential—because of financial hardship. Unpaid subs can also place a real strain on the club’s budget, making it difficult to plan ahead for essentials like training gear, medical support, and facility maintenance. By raising funds now, we can alleviate pressure on both our players and the club, creating a more stable and supportive environment for all involved. How We Plan to Make It HappenWe&#39;re asking our Emus community—past and present players, families, supporters, local businesses and even larger corporations—to chip in what they can. All money raised through the Players Fund will be set aside specifically to assist players in need, based on an internal assessment process to ensure fairness and transparency. We’ll also be running events, raffles, and partnerships to keep the momentum going throughout the season. Who We ArePenrith Emus is a proud rugby club based in Western Sydney with a long history of developing talented players and building community. We know the power of sport to change lives, and we’re committed to making sure every player has access to that opportunity—regardless of their financial situation. This is about more than just dollars—it&#39;s about building a culture of support, opportunity, and fairness. When one Emu succeeds, we all do. Help us give every Emu a fair go. Donate today and be part of something bigger.
