We’re having a fundraiser for Rugby Oregon, with proceeds going to support the organization’s mission to develop youth through rugby.  Thanks for clicking to read more about what we’re up to!

We hope you've heard about our matching grants. Yes plural - we have 2 of them. One from USA Rugby and the other from our SuperSupporters - Bill & Gail McCormick. Every $1 we raise on CrowdLever becomes $3. How cool is that?

Our mission statement reads - Rugby Oregon Develops Youth Through Rugby. How?

  • We take the sport to the kids. We go to schools, clubs, community centers - we teach kids that rugby is fun.
  • We teach them that playing to the best of your ability is important but learning life lessons through rugby is more important.
  • We take PE teachers and teach them how to teach a fun new sport.
  • We take parent volunteers and teach them how to coach.
  • We take even more parent volunteers and teach them how to officiate games.
  • We work with parks departments to secure fields.
  • We buy balls, shirts and field equipment in bulk to stretch our $$.
  • We create a safe environment.

But to do all this we need help. What we really need is money. We need to train our own development staff, send them to conferences to learn the latest tools and games, pay the gas and pay their wages so we can realize our mission.
