The Delaware Rugby Foundation will promote the game to new audiences and provide seed money to fund development programs. The Foundation will also provide leadership and direction in establishing the right public image of rugby and in building the infrastructure required for the long-term successful growth of rugby in Delaware.

 

The Delaware Rugby Foundation is a non-profit organization 501(c)(3) dedicated to the promotion and growth of rugby in Delaware. Particular emphasis is given to educating new audiences, especially among Delaware youth, on the benefits of participating in a competitive, physically demanding, global sport which is widely recognized for its character and team building attributes. Rugby will be positioned as different from other sports in that, while highly competitive, it is played in a fun, friendly spirit that bonds participants together in a “global family” of friendships with teammates and opponents that often last a lifetime.
