SPRINGFIELD, VA — In 2024, we are proud to announce a new initiative to support and give back to local youth rugby. The West End Rugby Pass-Back Fund is a new, alumni driven non-profit dedicated to directly supporting West End's legacy product boys & girls teams; funding much needed projects like training equipment, travel costs, tournament fees, and team uniforms. The fund will also lead the way in club expansion i.e. field prioritization & improvements at Grove Point Park (Franconia Park) as well as advocating for rugby across Northern VA & public school systems.
To do this, we call upon our alumni and family to consider pledging a reoccurring monthly donation to The West End Rugby Pass-Back Fund.
"West End is committed to keeping rugby affordable and accessible to all, with historically low registration & equipment costs. With that in mind, the club only has a couple thousand dollars to work with every year... We want to change that."
"How much do you pay for a coffee? Or your Netflix? Our Facebook group has over 600 members. If everyone gave $10 a month back to West End, that is incredibly real and effective funding that we can use to fund projects, player needs, and sustain the club. As an alumni-driven fund, we will work directly with coaches & players to empower the club."
To help launch this initiative, West End is offering a retro-throwback jersey for all donors who pledge $20 or more a month. Powered by our partners at Samurai Sportswear, this jersey is a replica of those worn for many decades by West End, updated with our new club badge.
Donors will be rewarded with exclusive club offerings to be handed out at our 2024 Alumni Celebration.
