The reason we need sponsorship
Rugby in the GCC is unique due to the need to travel internationally to participate at a competitive level. In the case of the Kuwait Scorpions this is accentuated because of Kuwait's geographical location. The cost of games and tournaments in the course of the season, for both the men's and ladies' teams can run over KD 25,000. This accounts for the majority of the Club's overall expenditure.
As one would expect, Kuwait Scorpions members play an active role in generating income for the Club through fund raising events. Further funding is generated from annual membership subscriptions. However these alone are simply not enough. Thus the support of Sponsors continues to be the Club's lifeblood.
On top of travel costs, additional expenses are incurred including:
In other words, the Club simply could not survive without the support of our Sponsors. It is the means for the Club to continue as an institution here in Kuwait, and for its 65 year legacy to be handed on to the next generation of players and supporters.
