Edinburgh Rugby is delighted to announce that Main Club Sponsor, Scottish Building Society, has generously donated their half-time slot at this Friday night’s highly anticipated home fixture against the Hollywoodbets Sharks to the club’s official charity partner, It’s good 2 give.

This gesture will allow It’s good 2 give to take centre stage at Hive Stadium, using the valuable time to raise awareness for the vital work they do supporting families facing the immense challenges of childhood cancer. Aligned with the charity’s mission, Friday night’s match will carry the powerful strapline: #ChangeTheGame.
