Zurich giving back to grassroots

Wests Tigers Premier Partner Zurich Insurance is proud to announce the extension of their 'Grassroots to Greatness' initiative for the 2024 NRLW season.

Through their partnership with Wests Tigers, Zurich will continue their support of local communities by encouraging & nurturing participation in grassroots sports.

Zurich will again donate one junior footy pack valued at over $500 to a community rugby league club, for every try scored by Wests Tigers’ NRLW team this season.

This initiative not only motivates the elite athletes but also directly benefits grassroots levels by providing much-needed resources.

Linda Griffin, Head of Brand, Marketing & Corporate Affairs, Zurich Australia & New Zealand knows that the ‘Grassroots to Greatness’ initiative benefits junior league clubs and acts as an incentive for Wests Tigers NRLW team.

“The more tries the team scores, the more packs we will distribute to community clubs across the country”, said Griffin.

It’s an opportunity for Zurich to give back to local rugby league clubs across Australia, clubs that are often the heart and soul of their local community.
