Campaign Story
Youth Touch World Cup 2018 - Singapore 20s women's
Why have we decided to fundraise?
We are the Singapore under 20s women's touch football (rugby) team and will be participating in the Youth World Cup in Malaysia, August 2018. We are raising money for our world cup campaign.
Touch rugby is a relatively new sport in Singapore. Participating at the world cup is player funded from our own pockets. Due to the high participation cost, we are seeking your support to reduce the financial burden.
We have been selected to represent Singapore in the upcoming Youth World Cup. We are driven, passionate about touch and want to fulfill a goal to represent our country.
We started training together in January. Players from different playing styles coming together. Our efforts paid off when we won the gold medal in the Worn2Win Singapore International Touch Knockout Championship in June 2018. We competed under the Women’s Open category, triumphing over 8 other teams. We now want to show our potential at the Youth World Cup.
How will your donation help our team?
Costs to participate at the world cup are ~$2,000 per player (SGD). Your kind donation will assist with our major expenses:
1) Travel and Accommodation.
2) Entry fee and uniform.
3) Administration.
4) F&B, equipment and medical needs.
As you can see, participation fees are high and your support will reduce the financial burden on us. Any donation will help. We sincerely appreciated your support on our youth world cup journey. Thank you to all the well wishes to date. With your support we will represent the touch community and Singapore proudly.
Thank you from all of the
Singapore women's u20s touch. Go team Singapore
