REBELS RUGBY FOUNDATION
Positive Change Together
Building a Stronger Future for Southern Districts Rugby
A Message From Joe Barakat
Southern Districts Rugby has a proud legacy, but to stay competitive, we need more than passion—we need resources. The Rebels Rugby Foundation (RRF) is our way of securing the future of rugby in the St George and Sutherland Shire.
In partnership with the Australian Sports Foundation, we’re calling on past players, supporters, and the community to help level the playing field. Other clubs have strong donor groups backing their success—now it’s our turn.
Joe
The RRF’s values align with those of the community and the rugby club, and it operates with its own bank account and governance framework.
