Help Marcello Represent the USA U18 JR National Rugby Team!
Donation protected
Hello! My name is Vanessa and I am reaching out to introduce you to an incredible young man, Marcello, and his wonderful family, the Woodberry's. I have known the Woodberry family for many years and have witnessed firsthand the countless ways they have helped others in our community. Their kindness, generosity, and dedication to making a positive impact are truly inspiring.
I am asking for your support to give back to them in a meaningful way as Marcello embarks on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as he has been selected as one of only 28 players to represent the USA U18 Junior National Rugby Team on their summer tour! Event will take place from June 30th to July 13th, 2025. This is an extraordinary achievement for Marcello and a testament to his hard work and talent in rugby.
Marcello is not only a dedicated rugby player but also a remarkable individual. He plays for the St. Ignatius Wildcats, where he led his high school team to a National Championship title and was named MVP for his outstanding performance. His passion for rugby is matched only by his commitment to giving back to the community. Marcello actively participates in various community service efforts, volunteering for youth projects and inspiring others to get involved.
This tour is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Marcello, but the costs associated with travel and accommodations are significant. His parents are eager to support him on this journey, but they are facing challenges in securing the necessary funds to travel alongside him. They do not want to miss the chance to witness their son compete at such a high level and experience this life-changing event.
We are reaching out to our community for support!! Any contribution, no matter how big or small, will help Marcello and his family make it to Argentina and Uruguay. Your generosity will not only assist with travel expenses but also show Marcello that his hard work and dedication are recognized and appreciated.
Thank you for considering supporting Marcello on this amazing journey. Let’s rally together to help him achieve this dream!!!
