Chrisp family has Ngatapa Club 'in the blood'
28 May 2022 - The Sunrise Foundation
Alex Chrisp was rapt to learn that his weekly donations to the Ngatapa Rugby and Associated Sports Club Endowment Fund have totalled over $800 within just a few years. “It’s such a small amount each week coming out of my pay, I can’t believe it adds up to that much.”
With well over 500 club members, Alex marvels at what a difference it would make if more members donated the small amount each week. He says the fund is a smart way of helping future proof the club by guaranteeing income every year forever.
With sponsorship becoming harder and harder to secure, Alex hopes the fund will grow to a level that it will help future committees be able to run and improve the club and be able to stay afloat through any tough times.
“Imagine if 50 of us contributed each week, that would have earned the club well over $40k. Even if money is tight $5 a week isn’t going to make or break you.”
Ngatapa Club is a family affair for the Chrisps with Alex having been involved since he was a ‘young fella’ playing rugby. He says, “The old man used to play and my brothers too at some point.”
Alex enjoys the positive, supportive environment and says families travel from as far away as Tolaga Bay and Matawai to be a part of it.
All donations to the fund will be invested, protected and grown to keep up with inflation. The surplus investment income will be returned to the club every year forever. Donate now if you would like to support the fund or click here to read more about the Ngatapa Rugby & Associated Sports Club fund
