To complement their Fletcher’s Fields Legacy Fund, the Toronto Saracens have now established a new Toronto Saracens Alumni Fund with the Canadian Rugby Foundation.
The Toronto Saracens Legacy Fund was established in April 2025, and was driven by a group of Saracen alumni. The Saracens have a long proud history since their founding in the early 1950’s. With 70+ years of playing rugby, there are now over one thousand Saracen Alumni spread around the world.
Many Saracens Alumni continue to stay involved with the Club in Board positions and as spectators. The cheering of Alumni on the sidelines and the volunteer Alumni working behind the scenes keep the Saracens strong as a Club.
The Toronto Saracens Alumni Fund is intended to provide funding from its endowment, and from capital withdrawals that continue the objects of the Toronto Saracens Rugby Football Club. These include:
- To encourage and further the game of rugby in Ontario and Canada;
- To actively support rugby players in the Province of Ontario by furnishing equipment, kit, and facilities for the game of rugby;
- To promote all forms of rugby and to arrange matches and rugby competitions and to offer or grant and contribute towards prizes, awards, scholarships and honorariums related to playing rugby in the province of Ontario.
