San Diego, CA (October 12, 2011) – The United States Rugby Foundation needs your help. For the past 48 years, the USRF, through the generous donations of those in the rugby community, has been helping grow the sport of rugby across the country.One only needs to look at the 2011 U.S. Rugby World Cup squad to see that with your help, the USRF has made a difference. Of the 30 members selected, three of those players, Scott LaValla, Shawn Pittman and Kevin Swiryn, were past USRF High Performance or Development Grant recipients. Through the USRF grants they received, they were flown to New Zealand where they took part in intensive training courses at the International Rugby Academy of New Zealand.Please support the United States Rugby Foundation by making a donation today.The USRF has also helped support rugby at the grassroots level having provided rugby balls and/or equipment to over 800 youth and high school rugby teams, schools and community programs over the past seven years.
