The Hollywood Foundation has long been a cornerstone of sports development across the country, leveraging its CSI programme to support and uplift grassroots clubs. Their recent visit to Jaguars RFC on 25 May 2024 exemplifies this commitment. The Hollywood Foundation’s generous CSI contribution, which included a new kit and vital equipment, is a testament to their ongoing support for the growth and success of local sports teams.
Jaguars RFC, established in 1996, is a prominent rugby club with a rich history and a robust structure comprising 171 players across senior and junior teams. The Club has been instrumental in nurturing rugby talent, serving as a crucial feeder system that has propelled many players and officials into provincial and national rugby structures. Their players have made significant strides, advancing to provincial and national teams, with some even taking up coaching roles internationally in countries such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scotland, Russia, Germany, and the United States.
The Hollywood Foundation’s CSI programme played a pivotal role in this development by providing the Club with new playing kits and essential equipment. This contribution enhances the Team’s ability to perform and embodies the Foundation’s commitment to fostering sports excellence at the grassroots level. The Purple Team was met with great enthusiasm and gratitude as they proceeded to bring a positive change to yet another community.
As Bradley Hlubi, a representative of Jaguars RFC, expressed, “This funding brings pride and dignity to the Team, ensuring we have high-quality playing kits and equipment. It also demonstrates our steady progress and helps position us for obtaining further support.”
The Hollywood Foundation’s CSI efforts underscore their dedication to advancing sports and creating opportunities for local clubs. Through their continued support, they are making a tangible difference in the development of rugby and the success of clubs like Jaguars RFC.
