The Chris Burger Petro Jackson Players’ Fund has been the pillar of support that seriously injured rugby players have turned to since 1980.
Our HistoryOur StakeholdersWhen a South African rugby player sustains a life changing injury to the head, neck or spine, we partner the player and their family on the journey of adapting to a “new normal”. A team approach is essential and we hold their ongoing care and quality of life as our top priority.
With over 88 recipients in South Africa, we work hard to uplift and encourage them to focus on their abilities rather than their disabilities, as they reintegrate themselves back into their families and communities.
