SPRINGFIELD, VA — In 2026, we are proud to continue The West End Rugby Pass-Back Fund. The Pass-Back Fund is a 501-c3 non profit created by West End Rugby alumni; dedicated to aiding West End Rugby's teams & athletes through supporting athlete scholarships, gifting equipment, and aiding club needs.
We call upon our West End Rugby alumni to consider pledging a monthly or yearly donation to The West End Rugby Pass-Back Fund.
"How much do you pay for a coffee? Or your Netflix? Our Facebook group has over 600 members. If everyone gave $10 a month to West End, that is incredibly real and effective funding that we can use to empower kids to play rugby. As an alumni-driven fund, we will work directly with coaches and the rugby commissioner to aid our nearly 50-year-old club."
- Reagan Douglas, 2013 Alumni & Pass-Back Fund President.
In 2026, we will be focusing on rugby balls! Members who pledge $20 a month ($240/yr) will receive a custom West End Rugby Gilbert Match Ball. In turn, the Pass-Back Fund will be donating additional match balls back to the club!
​
Since starting this fund two years ago, we have funded:
- A new team website: www.westendrugby.com
- Increasing the Dave Bailey Memorial Scholarship
- Donating Scrum Caps, Agility Poles, & Team Uniforms
