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

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.

National Kidney Foundation – 2009 Loveland Walk

As many of you know my mom has fought with Kidney failure for many years and is currently on dialysis awaiting another Kidney. This year my sister and I are participating in the National Kidney Walk on October 4th, on her behalf. I have registered under my team name of Northern Colorado Rugby. If anyone is interested in joining us for the walk or donating any money toward our cause I have posted a link below! This means a lot to me and my family. All donations go directly to the National Kidney Foundation.

There are a lot of reasons why us as men and women play the game of rugby, some of us have that aggression streak, for some it’s to stay or get back in shape, for a lot of us it’s the passion of combat and the art of going to war on the pitch…but for all of us it’s the camaraderie of knowing that each and every player on or off the pitch will someway help me as a rugby player. We all have a family of thousands that we can count on in a time of need whether it’s just a beer or a place to stay while out of town and on tour.

This is a call out to all those that have accepted your fellow ruggers as family. This last month two of your fellow rugby players have taken a huge loss to the elements of Mother Nature. Last month a tornado tore through the small town of Windsor, CO. and in its path it caused a lot of destruction to two rugby players’ houses. To show support for these two players and their families Fort Collins Rugby has designed a shirt that reflects the passion for the sport of rugby as well as showing the friendship that we carry as rugby players. We are selling these shirts for $20 and encourage all rugby players to get involved to show support for your fellow athletes. These are players that you might meet across the pitch or share a beer with while singing the songs that we all love. All the shirt sales will go back to these players and their families.

Our goal is to sell 500 shirts. While insurance is going to help, it will not take care of all the losses that the families have lost especially the property that has personal and sentimental value. Though money won’t bring back those losses it will give the families a chance to take a breath and to relax a little. Ruggers this is a chance for us to show our support and love for not only the best game in the world but the greatest friends we all could ask for.

Thanks for all your help and support. For large orders order please contact Terje and he will make sure to send out all the shirts to you and your team. (There is no shipping charge)
