Our Crowdfunding Groups
Virginia Tech Women’s Club Rugby is a fellowship of almost 50 student-athletes dedicated to the playing and promotion of Rugby Union football at VT, and to promoting the university’s reputation in a positive manner. The club was founded in the late 1970’s and has been nationally ranked since 2018. Membership on the team is a great way to meet new people and experience the action and excitement of rugby. The club sponsors both a 7’s and a 15’s squad, and both compete regionally and nationally against other collegiate clubs.
Gifts made to Virginia Tech Women’s Club Rugby help the club pay for new equipment as well as registration and travel expenses to compete in the annual collegiate rugby championships, which costs the club more than $8,000.00 each year to send both the 7’s and the 15’s squads to nationals.
In addition to making a financial donation directly to VT Women's Club Rugby, another significant way to support the club is to donate to the Sport Club Fields Turf Conversion Project. The goal of this vital Recreational Sports initiative is to convert two of the four sport club bermuda grass fields to a multi-sport, multi-purpose artificial turf facility that can accommodate the Baseball, Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Rugby, Soccer, Cricket and Softball clubs. The turf conversion will enable all outdoor clubs to practice and host games and tournaments even in wet weather, a frequent occurrence in Blacksburg. Our team and Recreational Sports value this project and are working to make it a reality, and gifts from generous Hokies like you will help make this happen. If you would like to donate to the Turf Conversion Project, please donate to the "Sport Club Initiatives" account that has been established for this purpose.
