Corporate Sponsorship Program
The Markham Irish Canadian Rugby Club is excited to announce our Corporate Sponsorship Initiative for this coming 2026 Season.
In an effort to continue offering incredibly dynamic programming and opportunities for all ages of our membership, we are hoping that you will help us by using your connections with local businesses to continue building meaningful partnerships that mutually benefit Markham Irish initiatives and community organizations.

How it Works:
Please engage in conversations and present our Club’s Corporate Sponsorship Model to local organizations in an attempt to have them choose a sponsorship “level” through a financial contribution to our Club. In return for their contribution, the sponsoring organization will receive a tangible commitment from the Club that corresponds to the amount donated by the organization as identified on the Corporate Sponsorship Model (found using the link below).

In return for helping us to establish this relationship, and upon completing the sponsorship agreement, the Markham Irish Rugby Club will present the member who helped orchestrate this partnership with a restaurant gift card in the amount of 10% of the financial commitment from the partnering organization. So…if you are able to secure a $250.00 donation from a local business, you (as a “Finder’s Reward”) would receive a $25.00 gift card to a local restaurant. Furthermore, a $2,500.00 commitment from a business would earn you a $250.00 gift card.
Once you have an interested company, please put them in touch with me through e-mail and I will work with the organization to complete the partnership.
