Mark your calendars for Thursday 6 November! UQ's premier event of the year, the UQ Rugby Benefit is back in New York in 2025!
The Benefit is a great opportunity to network with fellow Australians, UQ alum and New York-based professionals and executives around the theme and spirit of rugby.
Experience a first-class evening starting with a cocktail reception, followed by a three-course dinner. Prepare to be captivated by a live and silent auction, offering incredible prizes, and engage in a lively discussion with a panel of rugby union greats featuring Stephen Hoiles, former Wallaby and current Rugby FC Los Angeles head coach; Dylan Fawsitt, USA Eagle and captain of the Chicago Hounds and Jock Campbell, Wallaby and current Queensland Reds outside-back and UQ Red Heavy.
This year, all funds raised will assist with the redevelopment of the UQ Rugby Club clubhouse.
