_________________________
We are The Richmond Heavies Foundation – the heart of the Richmond rugby family.
The Foundation was borne out of the unconnected premature deaths of three amazing guys closely connected to the Heavies within six weeks of each other in 2018.
Our mission is to PROTECT and SUPPORT all members, players, coaches, staff and their families.
Our PROTECT mission is to extend lives and prevent avoidable early deaths by facilitating cardiac screening, provide access to free confidential mental wellbeing services and increase health awareness – physical, mental and emotional.
Our SUPPORT mission is to assist families, especially dependents, affected by sudden death or life-changing injury and encourage community rugby participation.
We want everyone in the Richmond rugby family to get involved so please help and support us.
