UVU Rugby Club seeks sponsorshi­p and support

- By Luke Hayes

The Utah Valley University Rugby Club is a club sport. We are associated with the university so that we can compete against other regional colleges, but we are currently not a varsity sport or supported financiall­y by the school for any of our costs. We are currently supported finically by the club fees, fundraisin­g drives, and out of our pockets.

We need your help to support the growing effort our boys have shown as they made the D1- AA championsh­ip that was on May 3rd and placed second. As we begin to raise funds to compete in a bigger championsh­ip next season we need to find a way to cover the cost of equipment, team uniforms, trips to and from events and even be able to provide scholarshi­ps to recruit even more amazing talent.

We are asking for any type of monetary support or supplies that you can provide to the rugby club and also if you feel that we should become a varsity sport at the University we ask that you sign our petition online so that we can have our voice heard.

Thank you for all of those who aid in an old age sport and allow us to play for team, for our club and for our country.
