Our Crowdfunding Groups
The Women’s Rugby Club is comprised of competitive, dedicated, and tough girls from diverse backgrounds and majors. The girls devote immense time and energy to the team and practice four times per week in order to improve their rugby skills and overall fitness. On the weekends, Saturdays are spent competing against other teams in the Midwest, such as the University of Iowa and the University of Minnesota. This past Spring, all the hard work paid off, and for the first time, the Women's Rugby Club advanced to compete nationally - finishing 8th at USA Rugby’s College 7’s D1 National Championship!
We aim to build upon the success of last season and are looking for financial support in order to improve play and expand membership by updating uniforms and equipment. This includes items like new jerseys, balls, cones, etc. We have all-volunteer coaching and operate on a shoestring budget that barely allows us to cover gas, equipment, and pay for referees. Donations, no matter how small, make a positive impact on our club. We hope you will consider supporting us financially. Even if you cannot donate, we’d love to see you at the pitch to cheer on your local ruggers in action. Thanks again for considering a donation.
