Ivy League Rugby Fundraiser

Ivy League Rugby is committed to supporting the Black Community in the fight against racial inequality and injustice in America. Players from rugby teams across the Ivy League will be running and walking a total of 846 miles this week, representing the 8 minutes and 46 seconds that Officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on George Floyd's neck, causing his death. We are running for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and the countless others who have suffered and died at the hands of needless police brutality and violent racism. If you would like to support us in the effort, please consider following any of the links below and donating to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), the Black Lives Matter Foundation, the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), or any of the local groups listed. Once you have completed a donation, please send a screenshot through the GoFundMe contact option at the bottom of the page so we can log your donation here.
