Fort Collins Rugby Team Spearheading a Fundraising Drive for 2004 Fire Season

The local Fort Collins Rugby Club (FCRC) would like to offer to help those that help in keeping our state lush and beautiful. The Spring, Summer and Fall season of 2004 is going to be another dry hot season for the state of Colorado. Realizing the danger of fires again and the importance of local and visiting firefighters, FCRC would like to raise money to support the needs of these hard working men and women. A program has been set up to collect money that will be used to purchase bottled water, food, lodging and other needs. This is an opportunity for both private and business’s to get involved by donating any amount that will help and thank these dedicated firefighters all the way through the dry season.

We, as a community has watched in anticipation as firefighters fight some of the largest wild fires in our states history. Now we can show our support by helping in raising money to purchase items that can be used or needed while they are working so diligently in our communities. FCRC would like to encourage both private and business, in the Larimer and surrounding counties, to get in touch and commit to an amount that you would like to donate. The money will not be collected at this time, but when the time is needed a Rugby player will be in touch to collect the pre-determined amount. You will also be told to what your money is going to purchase and to what firefighting team it’s going to. As a team we would like to keep this program running all the way through the dry season.
For more information or to commit to a donated amount please contact Terje Whitmore, President (FCRC), at (970) 226-1420 or email Terjerugby@aol.com. Please be ready to give your private or business name and contact phone number along with an amount. Thank you.

 

So you want to join NoCo Rugby?

That’s right, NoCo Rugby is looking for serious male athletes of all rugby abilities to join our campaign.  Founded in Fort Collins in 1978, the club has represented Northern Colorado in one of the fastest growing sports in the nation.  Over the years, NoCo Rugby has experienced many successes, including most recently a 2011 league championship and bid to the USA Rugby National Tournament round of 32.

Rugby is a dynamic sport, requiring exceptional athleticism, coupled with considerable mental and physical toughness.  Those interested do not require any rugby experience, just a great attitude and desire to be part of a competitive spirit that has long been a NoCo Rugby tradition.

If you have rugby experience and are looking to get back into the fold, many current players have been playing for several years and have been selected for top-tier teams.  You could be the missing component for another national bid and we welcome your talents.

Training is every Tuesday and Thursday, Spring and Fall seasons. (Check the calendar for details.) The training location is Greenbriar Park in Fort Collins.  Click on the front page link for directions.  Games are held every Saturday up and down the Colorado Front Range, with regional social/competitive tournaments based on interest. 

If you still are on the fence and want to speak to someone live about the prospect of joining the team, we hope you will fill out the form on the Contacts Page. We’ll get back with you ASAP.

COME BE PART OF A GREAT SPORT AND TRADITION!  JOIN NOCO RUGBY AND HELP US EARN ANOTHER BID TO THE NATIONAL TOURNAMENT!  SEE YOU AT TRAINING!
