Hi, we are Lupe and Johnny and we are fundraising for our 3 children who have been granted awesome once in a lifetime opportunities that they have been working their whole life for. We are a family of rugby players who have been given the opportunity to not only grow the sport in our community but build a community that has brought all cultures and all social-economic families together in creating opportunities for kids to attend college who may have not seen that in their future.

Our 3 kids, Senior Elijah, Junior Jasiah, & Sophomore Nila have been an integral part of that in that every step of the way they have volunteered countless hours in setting up practices and game fields, mentoring players, coaching the youth, and even refereeing games. Throughout their combined 27 years of supporting this sport as players and mentors, they have never asked once for something in return. They have worked tirelessly waking up at 5am in the morning to set up fields, coach, referee, and also play in their own games, all with a happy heart.

Their hard work and dedication has really paid off as they have been granted multiple opportunities to play internationally in both Rugby 7s and 15s. Representing their club, area, and country. As great as these opportunities are, they come with a hefty price. That is why we are reaching out to our community, country and world to help make their dreams a reality. As a parent it is heart wrenching to have your children finally obtain a dream, but not be able to experience it due to financial constraints.

Below are the opportunities we are fundraising for.

Elijah- USA Rugby U18 Junior National 15s Team Tour Amsterdam total package including airfare is $4050

Jasiah- Germany 7s Tour total package including airfare is $5500

Nila- World High School 7s in New Zealand total package including airfare is $4950

We are so thankful for any donation that can be made $5, $50, or $500. We are truly grateful and appreciative for any support. Thank you and God Bless!
