GLENDALE, CO – An anonymous USA Rugby donor is generously contributing $5 for every 2020-21 member registration up to $2,500 from now through the end of December. These contributions may be directed to the USA Eagles National Teams and operations for the upcoming Olympic and Rugby World Cup year. Members are encouraged to simply renew their training or full membership for the 2020-21 season, by December 31, where $5 will be matched as a philanthropic donation.
It is important to note that this does not increase dues owed by the member, nor are any of those dues affected. The additional funds are a separate contribution provided by a proud donor. “While they respectively prefer to remain anonymous, I whole-heartedly want to thank our generous donor for the unique contribution,” said USA Rugby Chief Development Officer, Chris Reed. “It’s been a challenging year for the USA National Teams and operations, where support like this endorses the organization to build towards an encouraging 2021.”USA Rugby Member Registration is open for the 2020-21 Season, with both Training and Full Membership options available in light of limited rugby activities during COVID-19.
