The UBCO Men's Rugby team is pushing to tackle new challenges head-on—and it paid off when they won our first-ever Prairies U Championship by defeating the University of Alberta 12-5. This milestone qualified the Heat for their first-ever Canadian University Men’s Rugby Championship, where they finished sixth thanks to an upset win over Memorial. The incredible student-athletes play with grit and determination, displaying the unity that defines the Okanagan spirit.

Their strength and skill set the tone on the field, inspiring fans and teammates alike. Your support this UBC Giving Day can help them even more by covering costs like equipment, travel and tournament fees. A gift of just $20 can help keep our team equipped and ready for tough matches.

Kick in and turn up the HEAT so your rugby squad can keep charging forward toward victory.
